*In the fall of 2009, Dennis and Berkley met at a halfway house for recovering polka addicts. Spurred on by their common addiction for mindless throngs of elated chicken dancers, the two started fitting in practices between episodes of the Golden Girls.* *After they had come up with a catalog of some of the best accordion accompaniments since Slash and Tommy Lee teamed up with Weird Al Yankovic, they realized that there were very few self-respecting accordion players in rural Virginia, all of which were currently performing in the orchestra of Cirque du Soliel in Vegas, so they went back to the drawing board and started putting together what would be the beginnings of a rock revolution in their sleepy little town.* *From there, they engineered the break up of a powerhouse regional luau band, and quickly snatched up their protege ukelele player. The result was something like OJ and toothpaste. Kevin realized they were on to something good, though and decided to take up the bass because groupies like bassists.* *It wasn't too long after this that they realized that the average audiophile might not understand all the subtleties of their songs without someone to interpret them. So they searched long and hard, and during their efforts, they heard a rumor of a rumor that there was some guy that might just be what they were looking for. After what seemed like forever, but was really more like two months, someone suggested to Dennis that Jason could be the guy they were looking for. Known throughout his house as an effective communicator with his hands, it seemed like a longshot, but lacking a better idea, the band figured they would give him a shot. It quickly became obvious that no one could hear his hands waving, and that bars would be too dark to tell the difference between an artful finger flick and a poorly timed inappropriate scratching. So Jason bought a bunch of books, learned how to sing, and this one-time polka-playing, hula-skirt wearing mime brigade quickly turned into a local rock powerhouse.* *Now the boys split their time between performances and finishing up their first album, currently untitled, but most likely to be called "BLEEP!".*
