Its Bad Isnt It

The year is 1985 or 1986.

I was playing bass guitar in my third band “DESTINY”, though really it was just my first band, with some welcome personel changes. I had a Peavey Bass, a thunderous Peavey Combo 300 bass amp, and the beginnings of a mullet. Life was pretty good.

We were “destined” for little success, though I had the time of my life doing it.

My first band was a ratty thing called “NEMESIS”.

We were a little like AC/DC + Ratt + Helix, except not nearly as good, and probably louder.

We practiced inside of the cargo hold of an old refrigerated truck. If you touched your guitar, and you happened to touch the metal walls, you’d get blasted with some powerful electricity.

Later, I had the insite to convince the other guys in the band to change the name to “WINTER WOLFF”. Yes, after the famed Monster Manual frost hound.

I have no freakin’ idea why the 2 Fs seemed like a good idea (well, it WAS in the Monster Manual), or why WW would be a cool band name. It’s pretty cringeworthy, though each of those bands had equally bad names.

So friends, it is with much ado, that I introduce you to my latest musical (name) creation; it’s not a band, but an entire genre of music:

Behold: TROLL JAZZ!

You will thank me.

But just not yet.

The broken glass was a nice feature to add. Although they don’t seem to care? Is there some sort of spell they can use to fix glass really easy?

Aren’t there any recordings? When will the MP3 be available to download?

Mine ears still ring from the glory that was Nemesis. I’m loving the strip. When are we going to get some back story. From whence do our two travelers come and to where might they be headed? How did they meet and when does the love interest emerge from the steamwork?

Savage – A Troll Jazz recording would be fantastic. I gotta work on that sometime, somehow.

Burlapin – Time will tell. I am close to releasing a map of Monstru, so you can see the overall land in which they travel. Very excited to share that with you.
