    Artist History
    Jake, Cherry, and Rondell all played in a band together in late 1998, called "The Elliot Massacre". A blend of hardcore and metal, they broke up in 1999 due to threats from Elliot. A year later, they brought in Jeoffy Jaffer, a former breakdancer, to handle the k-board/trumpet duties for their new project. Jeoffy knew Ronny Paddles, a British musician, when the two met while Jimmy was on a world tour of with his breakdancing crew, and he saw Paddles playing in a rock n' roll band in a pub in downtown London. Jaffer asked the band after their set if they would hang out and play 8-bit Nintendo, but only Paddles agreed. When Jaffer knew the new band needed a bass player, he sent a telegram to Paddles back home who was living in London. Paddles, along with bodyguard Vic Karnauch, used a speedboat to make it to the United States, while managing to fight off karate ninjas and tai kwon do bandits.
