Artist History Two college boys set out to play some rock and roll music just for fun, became close friends, developed an obsession with becoming famous and then watched it all go up in flames. in between, they broke into evangel university's radio studio and recorded a cd, played nine or ten shows to gushing admiration, and began a second album that never got finished. the best of their music is compiled on the national debt lp, a monument to shattered expectations. others played in the band off and on, most notably john kriese and peter eckle, and they will be witnesses to the beauty and chaos of the american live act. at this time, lonely as america is in a coma, you can send your regards but something in my left shirt pocket hints at a return. the boys never did get famous or even noticed. may justice prevail. (joseph daniel lang, july 2000) Justice will prevail eventually.
