Artist History We, BiL & Louise (bro & sis), started out as the band Sherman Electric in 1997, playing our first gig at the 7th Street Entry in December (the club with the best damn new band nite there is!). Ace drummer Ron Wade smashed the competition into submission and replaced our Casio drum machine in 1998. In 2000 We found Jonny Fang playing a mean Farfisa organ in one of the massage parlours on East Lake St. and we bribed his bosses into letting him join us. In a completely shocking turn of events, the year 2000 also saw us being sued by a family member over our innocent little band name. Seems our rock-n-roll was a little too scary for our uncle, who owns some kind of claim to the name through his electrician's shop in town. (Well, SOORRRY!) The Fiction Four moniker was debuted in late 2001. T-Shirts were made, a drum head was pressed, and now our new recordings (the first to feature Jonny Fang) have been posted here. Be sure to check out our other mp3 site, under the name Sherman Electric. You'll find several songs from our 2000 album there. Groovy~
