Sprouting in 2003, Stuart Sundell-Norlin left his homeland of Marquette, Michigan to escape a city without hairspray, cocoa beans, and comprehensive health insurance. Arriving in the decadent metropolis of Milwaukee, it didn't take him long to befriend Chad Burgess and Matt Misslich while attending one of the city's famous sawdust-swimming and cabinet-making parties. The three quickly became friends and formed a band due to their mutual interest in the study of the migration of alley cats.
In July 1947 a flying saucer named Spudnik crashed near the small town of Elephant Butte (actual town) in New Mexico. Inside, Federal agents discovered a strange tuber-like alien that resembled a Solanum tuberosum (common name: potato.) The starchy starpilot was subjected to countless lab tests, exposing it to high levels of environmentally safe intimate lubricants, which evoked a reaction of unimaginable power.
Inspired by the space-spud experiments, Stuart exposed his new band to dangerous levels of Ginseng, organic slippery elm bark, and a side of hops, mutating them into an unparalleled musical force.
As a result, Stu discovered that he could fold space just by bending his G-string (!) Matt gained the ability to hit a bass note capable of warping lunar orbits, imploding pulsars, and evacuating bowels. With his new powers, Chad could manipulate dolphins and the time continuum with a mere 4/4 with 16ths on the hats.
Alone they were mere carbon based mortals, but together they are the cosmically nubile TWICE BAKED POTATO
