Artist description formed in 2001 from the ashes of 'the hopscotch club' original line-up: ian-vocals/guitar; john-guitar/vocals; james-drums; chris-bass. john fled to vancouver after another calgary snowstorm in the middle of may (ok it was in november, but he was anticipating a may snow storm so he figured he'd better jet) so we proceeded to beat a new guitar player into submission. we intimidated him and made him feel useless until finally he broke down and joined. our band is a totalitarian regime, taking after the other great despotic nation: the united states of america.
