Wow..well we started about two years ago. Our main goal was to have fun. We love to play live, there's a great energy doing that. Our only rule at the start for band members: You Gotta Have a Day Job. We just wanted to make sure the music was fun driven, and not monetary. You can feel it in all of the songs.

Story behind the song
Inspired by a story in the newspaper, about a guy getting 15 years in jail for stealing a piece of Pizza.. it was his third strike.
Lyrics
3 Strike blues Went down once..... when I was young Me and the boys...... were out havin’ fun Things got a bit crazy.... you know how it goes Hit a sporting goods store.... cuz boys will be boys Did a year for stolen guns That’s how I got strike number one Many years ago.... I was doin’ the blow Met a guy with some money.... he said who do you know So I made the connection.... I drove across town Had a pound of powder... when they took me down Yeah there I was tryin’ to play it cool That’s how I got strike number two Now it’s been twenty years..... I’ve played it straight Got a wife and two girls... man they are great We were out havin’ dinner..... a man hit on my daughter He went too far.... man it was a slaughter You’ld have done the same if you were me That’s how I got strike number three Now I’m going away... I’m sayin’ goodbye Cuz when you have three strikes... it don’t matter why Hard not to be angry.... when it just isn’t right Judge shook his head.... and out went the lights So when common sense should set you free Hope you’re not lookin’ at strike three
