The Slicked Up 9's:
One fine spring day, way back in 1998... a handful of hepster-wanna-be's talked about how great it'd be to get a band together. One of their roomates, who was currently planning a party, was tired of listening to all their talk and said, "Why don't you just get that damn band together and play at my party!" They all laughed at the idea, then stopped and caught each other's eyes in a sudden bout of serious realization... 2 weeks later, a thrown together show was underway and people liked it... they actually liked us! ...
