A few months ago, I started a band called The Office Band, and we released two amazing albums.
While we penetrated many, many crowds, rumor began to circulate that The Office Band had hit the sophomore slump, and that we sucked. So I broke away from that band and joined another one called The Writer Band. We came out with these two albums:
Following a tsunami of success, our lead guitarist, George, became addicted to cats and left the band. Our drummer, Gloria, a sweet, 79-year-old lady, became addicted to Bingo. And I was left all alone, addicted to the love of music.
Until one day when I was stuck in a massive traffic jam that lasted three days. I had no choice in eating those people. Or forming this awesome, awesome band called The Automobiles.
So without further ado, here is the track-listing for our first album, Tailgate in Hell!
