They started as a humble acoustic metal four-piece. The songs were raw... the songs had passion... and they were simple.

They started as a humble acoustic metal four-piece. The songs were raw... the songs had passion... and they were simple. Unfortunately, they proved to be too simple for the group, who felt they were being held back by not only the vocalists lack of power, but by the simplicity of the music. They just didn't want to be tied to one genre... to one scene... to one sound... so they branched into the avant-garde. It began simple enough. Same basic structure, giving Dave his second chance at being the frontman, but c@'s ego proved to be too domineering; his aspirations too grand. Dave left the rehearsal and mike took over, but not on vocals, on tin tubular bells and bass drum. Shortly after, Janelle took over as bass drum player (m@ still on guitar). Soon, the group grew uninspired with their surroundings, and set off on a spiritual journey to gain a new outlook on life and artistry. The qvest took them throvgh grim forvsts, as they moved as a kvlt towards their final destination. Once they arrived, Mike had his eye on the prize... Inside the psychedelic jungle pussy cat lover's lounge Mike began to play soulful sounds on the theremin, which was so joined by a chorus of slide whistle, toy keyboards, and dulcimer. The jam carried on for a while until the jam died down to a battle between theremin and pedal that only the god's can describe with words... The future was looking bright for Mercury Syringe. Much later in the night however, after everyone got on the roof to watch America blow things up colorfully for freedom, members of MS were given the power to skate incredibly well. G was all about the blades, but c@ and Mike became gods of the board: McTwist, 540 Kick Flip, Ollie Slamback, Pepsi Throwback, Miss Mary Beck McTwistington, Superman Air Assault, 1080 64, Pizza Hangtime, M&Ms McFlurry... there was nothing Tony Hawk could do that they couldn't do... This gave the band an idea to play music as punk as their actions.... Some say that the first release of Mercury Syringe might infact be a feature length skateboard video soundtrack.... some say it might be a casette recorded four track.... others have suggested that at this point they are so avant and so punk that the only way to hear an album by MS is to take a record stylus and run it along the grooves in the members' brains... their first show is scheduled to be a tuba rockabilly jam on John Kerry's earlobe on May 19th, 2043, but it's possible that something different will precede it.
