| to
change their moniker, expand into a full band, and move to New York
City. Armed with two handguns and an uzi, they were determined to
make it this time.
Rob,
the youngest of three sisters, and Jon, a reformed Mennonite
who can't complete a sentence without waxing scatological, set
their sights on a lanky bass player whose relentless pirouetting
got
him thrown out of culinary school. He also happened to be Rob's
younger, more popular roommate. But just who is John Galt? We
don't know,none of us ever finished that book, but we can tell you
a little something about Matthew Dunne. Matthew hails from Taxicab,
Tennessee where he actually knows people with missing teeth.
Although he has an IQ of 167, Matthew readily admits to being
puzzled by cheese. He was immediately labeled "the cute one"
by
his mother and joined the band 24 hours later..
It
was Jon's suggestion that we bring in a female singer. "My
thinking,"
Jon says, "was twofold. A) we could explore the use of lush
three part
harmonies in our music, and b) Rob would stop grabbing my nuts when
we got to the high notes." Enter Suzanne Morris. "They
had worked briefly with another woman before I joined but she died
suddenly and tragically in a freak paper airplane accident"
explains the plucky blonde/redhead with a robust smile. "Her
death really kick-started my career." Suzanne, a simple girl
for whom humus is "that crazy food from Asia (sic)," has
goals beyond the top 40. At some point before I die,"
