Artist History Once upon a time in a place we all know as Mercury, Trent Schreiner and Scott Lillard were playing with an eight-string cow, and they eventually agreed that it was the raddest cow they had ever played. They decided to go to Earth, the land of opportunity, and another opportunity. they missed the first opportunity, but caught the second one getting on a train to Utah, the Golden State, where everybody's dream comes out in chunks (and made out of gold). There they met Trevor Bortins, a scientist from the fifth planet in the Altile Solar System. He believed that the earth was round, and so the three set out to prove it so. Unfortunately, they found they were too late, because, as we all know, it was already done in 1324 by Eddie Murphy. They decided, though, to go to California, the oldest nation in human history, and play with their food. When they were finished doing that, they went to a jazz show and met the Buddy Rich band's drummer- Kevin Evans, who was actually Rivers Cuomo from Counting Crows. The four of them got drunk using only their left pinkies, and discussed the reasons monogamy just doesn't work in Pennsylvania. And the rest, as they say, is a piece of french apple.
