About Me |
|
| :thebigempty or :fhebiqueMT, as they refer to themselves, is a band of four individual influences. Coming from finance department P.A. Knope decided to quit his well payed job to "spend some time with the book". But that didn't last very long for there was a very tall fellow called Critical Jim (self acclaimed singer/songwriter, musician, etc...) who interrupted the "self-finding process" Knope had hoped to find by telling him that they should have a drink. A drink, you might ask. Of course it was a hell load of more than just "a drink", but first things first. So when the two guys were heading for the city they came across a large cave. Astounded, Critical Jim (self acclaimed spelaeologist and computer-gamer) abruptly suggested the two should go on a quest into the cave because they just so happened to have the adequate paraphernalia with them. Despite of Knope's concern he went with the critter not knowing what would await them for they would find their destiny.
The deeper they got into the cave, almost run out of paraphernalia, the louder a beating sound came. Finally they reached the epicenter of the sound in a small sort of a room. Critical Jim and P.A. Knope couldn't believe what they saw: Two cavemen making music together. Critical Jim (self acclaimed linguist and weirdo) took speech greeting the two foreigners by saying: "You know why it sounds so nasty? Because of early reflections! You need to deaden sound in this room. Alright?" The two bearded and long-haired cavemen didn't quite know what he was talking about and asked confused: "How'd you get in here?" "The parapharnelia got us here" Knope replied, showed the small rest of it and everybody laughed. Oh it was a loving laughter that filled the cave that night. Gentle and soft but still immense and it seemed to last forever in the echoey cave. And it still lasts. Because the two cavemen who swore off modern society were Benjamin "Bo" Huck and Philipp "Harry" Pankraz who would apply to the two guys forging a music group. But the story doesn't end here. Soon after they got together, cut their hair, shaved their beards and enjoyed the life inside the rehearsal room and played a few gigs together, Critical Jim (critically acclaimed restless person) left the band because he couldn't deal with something. So the three went on without him playing numerous shows near to where they met each other. Succesfully as it proofed to be, because Critical Jim (self acclaimed black sheep) got jealous of the sudden popular recognition of the trio and wanted to get back in the band. After long days of negotiations the got to an agreement leaving Critical Jim with bad contract conditions. So now the four fellas are back together, and I tells ya, watch out, for they'll be coming to your town soon. See ya! |
