I'll never forget when I got the call to audition for this band. I had just graduated high school at the Academy of the Holy Angels in Richfield MN (11th, no less) and I was at a resort in Northern Mn. called Breezy Point, golfing with my childhood friend, Burt Ward. My brother-in-law called and said that I had the audition, and I had to come home. I had exactly one night to learn ALL the parts and vocals, and be confident enough to dance at the same time.

I'm proud to be a part of it. While rehearsing for the movie, we had no idea that Morris and The Artist were fighting. After a year of rehearsing, 6 days a week, 8 hours a day for 1 gig at First Avenue in Mpls, MN, Morris decided to leave the band for a solo carreer.
