Monsters from MarsSurf goodies
The year was 1967 and psychedelia was in full "swing". Why would anyone wanna start an instrumental surf band? Well, I'll tell ya why. It all started when Pilot/Swinger/Talent/MC Mr. Bob $stencil was commissioned to form a band for a Mile High Club event sponsored by Braniff Airlines. After countless failed attempts with bands in the past, such as $tencil's stint at a Phil Spector role with "The $tencettes", he decided to take it back to the time of the Beach Party. This one had to count; it had to be the most swingn'est, rockin'est, groovn'est, hip gyrate'nest party band ever.
He decided to look for members from all corners of the world.
On guitar, he chose, from Iceland, the God of Thunder himself Thor Andersen. With tremolo picking skills that would please Oden himself, he knew he made the right choice.
For Drums, $tencil travelled deep into the wilderness of the Algonquin in Ontario and found native Paul Naylor playing insane rhythms on a drum set fashioned from rocks and trees.
On bass, Scott Jones. Bob found him in Tokyo's Harajuku Square playing his bass for spare change so he could remain in Japan on a labor visa.
Well, the band was almost complete, but Bob knew something was missing: Someone in the band for him to have sex with. He figured, why not teach his new Russian mail-order bride, Anastasia Kidniz, to play the organ. And thats just what he did....he then tried to teach her how to play the keyboard for the band, but having no musical talent, failed. Too bad for Bob, this bride had brains, she taught herself how to play a mad farfisa, and now has a vendetta against the man.
Despite Bob's decision to name to band "The $urfin' $tencils", the band collectively agreed upon the name "Monsters from Mars".
Needless to say, the Party was a hit! Ever since, Monsters from Mars has continued to "make 'em shake n' shimmy" at parties around the world, and Bob $tencil continues to have lots of sex (or trys real hard at least).
