Artist History The band Sherman Electric was started in 1997 by BiL & Louise (bro & sis) for yuks. Ace drummer Ron Wade soon joined and the band started gigging in the fertile & lively Minneapolis music scene. Old pal Dawn Schot played keys until 1999 - she left in 2000 to pursue a solo project. Jonny Fang joined with his Farfisa organ and the sound of the band gelled. The band name had to be changed to The Fiction Four in 2001 due to a stupid copyright issue with a relative, who owns an electrician's shop in Minneapolis. New recordings and hopefully touring plans in 2002. Be sure to check out our other mp3 site, under the name The Fiction Four. That's where the 2002 recordings live.
