When asked whether to sound important or make important sounds, the trio of mountain top couriers decided to answer that question with an answer.
The excitement of making music to this group of 20 year old ping pong fanatics was like making convulsive motions whilst standing on a thin surface of glass on the roof of a 300 million dollar condo in the Hollywood Hillls.
“my body was decaying before making beats and consciously bombarding the microphone” said one of the three founding members of the inconceivable boyband. (they wear gorilla suits most days so its hard to tell which one is which)
Though times have changed and it is now legal to carry ignorable impish bags of freedom, Young Fathers are devout to the core root of taking off your overalls and “running with the grenade”.
This can be understood in "the confessions of .............", a diary written by another of the three founding members (who once even dazzled Donnie “The Damshiggidy Dazzler” Bedazzletyne) which is enscribed in an unknown language, also known as “ShaniiTwaaain”.
On my brief encounter with the third of the three founding members of the band, he describes how the guys decided on what to call themselves. “Maturity is a bitch!” as he shook hands with his accountant backstage at the award show.
