Artist History Mr. Gill wanted to start a band, so he rand up the drummer from The Vanishing who had nothing better to do than become an ethereal rock diety. This was when Professor Chris and Mr. Gill began to look for a bassist with a snappy title, and cam up with none other than Tee-Bag Dorcey to man the bass guitar. So they set to writing songs, and soon found their ethereal rock dietyness allowed them to break from the conventions of having a style. Is it sythesis? Is it creation? Is it creatine? Is it legal? These are the questons asked as they veered off the beaten path to craft a concept so complex, so alluring, so intricate that it had to be given a crayon drawn cover. They called it "Absurdia."
