Dustin and Tom went to clown and barber college respectively. They met on the vastly popular downtown people mover.
I axed Dustin and Tom for their bios and Tom has sent his and Dustin's respectively. Because they are so well written, I've left it verbatim:
Dustin Greer...who is Dustin Greer and where did he come from?
Well, Dustin Greer was not born of woman, rather he came to being in a
flash
of light in the deserts of the Sahara...
after 40 years of walking through parched desert sands eating desert
insects
and vipers for sustenance, the man many have called "he who is, that
is,
and who will be" reached the land of milk and honey known as
Jacksonville
Florida.
at this point in time "he who is, that is, and who will be" took on a
human
name...Dustin Greer...
for the next 60 years of Dustin Greer's ( AKA "he who is, that is, and
who
will be" ) lived as a prophet and shaman amongst the Indian tribes of
southern Georgia and Northern Florida, teaching them the ways of fire,
stone, bow and arrow. He imparted to them a solid work ethic and an
appreciation for the bounty of the land. Of course, the white man came
and
enslaved or killed off all of the Indians, stole their land and shoved
them
into reservations where their primary source of income was gambling.
At this point Dustin " he who is, that is, and who will be" Greer
realized
his quest in life: TO ROCK!
for the next 30 years Dustin "he who is, that is and who will be" Greer
crooned to the delight of many woman, songs of the desert and songs of
the
Indians, but he soon realized that he couldn't speak the language of
the
land. He then studied English with a transplanted Hindu English teacher
name
Hammu-al-Muja-bin-ladan, AKA luka-sim-alabim.
After mastering the English language, Dustin enjoyed great success in
his
first two bands...the Beatles and Metallica, but soon he tired of the "
rock
and roll" lifestyle with all of its trappings: Lamborghini's, drugs,
easy
women and fame.
Dustin decided it was time to take on a new project which would ensure
even
more trappings of the rock and roll lifestyle : fast cars, loose women,
drugs, corrupt politician, mob informants, dirty cops, gang-bangers,
hustlers, pimps up-ho's down, Pizza restaurant gigs, the occasional gun
fight, monster truck rallies, stock car racing, big screen TV's, free
cable,
a planter full of cacti and succulents and an encounter with the
infamous
beast known as "EL CHUPACABRA"...
This project was to be know in the annals of history as "1919"...
Tom Bennett
born 1972 in Rhode Island
moved to J-ville ( aka cowford ) in 1973...don't seem to recall the
move...not very coherent at the time. I do remember large breasts in my
face
though.
1977 attended WE Cherry elementary school...regretted every minute
except
for one time at band camp where we home-made ice cream. All other
memories
from this time are hidden in dark recesses of subconscious...it's
better
that way.
1985 attended Orange Park Middle School...first started postulating
theory
that " life may just suck "...nothing occurred to refute this idea.
1986-1990 finished primary education at Orange Park High School AKA
"horror
highschool", found piano...life of rock-stardom begun. Loved by friends
(
especially the women ) feared and reviled by enemies.
now, I work for the man. He plays me much like a marionette on strings.
But one day soon I will rise up and kick him in his big fat balls.
I am a self taught pianist who later studied and completed a degree in
Classical piano performance at the University of North Florida. I have
great
carpal tunnels, as years of piano/guitar/drum playing as well as
lifting
weights has not diminished my capacity to perform or masturbate with
regularity. God Bless my superior genetics.
I have played in three bands... Nudge- a travesty of progressive rock,
Gutboy- a tongue in cheek yet deadly serious improvisational rock band
and
Slug Relay a controversial yet well received Rock Opera troupe.
My favorite song that I've written before 1919, is " I don't know what
the
Sith is, but I know what my dick is " . I also love " 3po-homo ". Both
were
written and performed while doin' time in Slug Relay.
My favorite song from Gutboy is " Shig-shig man ".The words written by
Jay
Peale based around the phrase "shig-shig man" which was concocted by
yours
truly. These are classics which any fan of 1919 should check out.
I hate jazz. But I love dem' Blues...
I still listen to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
I like long walks on the beach and I am "good fun with a hand gun"
If I were asked whether I am a "pimp" or a "playa"...I would say that I
am a
"pimp". I'm an old school mutha-fucka who "don't be takin' no shit from
no
bee-otchess...awwwww yeeeahhhh".
The true reason for this band is that I am in love with Dustin. This
band is
an excuse for me to have Dustin around until I get my sex change and I
can
legitimately ask him to marry me. I want to adopt children and have a
house
in the suburbs.
1919 is by far the most exciting and musically challenging band I've
been
in. This is the band that I plan to retire with. The music is fantastic
and
Dustin is a top-notch vocalist. I think we're creating music that has
the
potential to really touch our audience, which of course is the goal of
all
artists. There is a very universal and timeless feel about what we're
doing
in this band and it grows with each gig/practice and recording we do.
I
love it. I am very proud of our work and extremely excited about the
future.
Cheers...later!
