Artist History
The simple tale of Get Mendoza began when little Casey Lombardo, a disaffected youth trapped on Uncle Owen's moisture-vaporator farm, was approached by his arch-nemesis Chris Arendt in the interest of putting aside their differences and starting the greatest rock & roll band ever. However, the prospect of executing so grandiose a plot seemed rather weak considering that the full extent of Chris' musical background was his vocal mastery of the entire Rolling Stones catalog. Likewise, Casey had spent the past four years of his life playing along to Weezer records in his room and trying to ape Ozzy's "Crazy Train." In spite of their obvious lack of talent the pair, full of pluck and moxie, went about recruiting a drummer. The search appeared to be for naught until they chanced upon a handsome, young immigrant named Jorge Harris, toiling away in a strawberry field off the freeway. Chris offered to teach Jorge to speak English if he would provide drums for the burgeoning band, which was then called Grandma Tarkin. Casey sealed the deal when he married Jorge, thereby making him a full US citizen (to celebrate, Jorge even changed his name to the more appropriately American "George"). Around this time, the trio had been knocking out Survivor and Kinks covers in the garage when news got out that a young, hotshot bass player by the name of Bo Morgan--whose penchant for cocaine was tempered only by his lust for heroin-- was looking for new musical stomping grounds. In an attempt to exploit the funkee homosapien (who possessed not only bona-fide talent but also a nifty Cubase recording studio) the group lured him into the fold with the promise of a free haircut and some nifty, suede Pumas. With the lineup complete, a string of fierce sessions ensued, and soon enough the word was on the street that Grandma Tarkin was on the verge of becoming the next Steely Dan. The only logical step that remained was to rename the band GET MENDOZA and watch the Grammy Awards roll in... |
