Never Never - Music

It Begins Here. Right Now. Ready? GO! You Are Now Embarking On A Whirlwind 180-Word Novella Of Jason "JBlynn" Blynn And Peter "Pete" Harper. The Paths Of "Pete" And "J" Who Will Henceforth Be Referred To Without "quotations" Crossed When The Outdoorsy Semi-Crunchy Straight-Out-Of-A-Phish-Rip-Off-Jam-Band J A Collegiate Sophomore At Amherst College Led Pete And A Group Of His Fellow Wide-Eyed Freshmen Into The White Mountains Of New Hampshire For A 1st Year Orientation Trip. Upon Arrival At The Second Campsite The Group After A Rousing But Slightly Awkward Session Of "never-Have-I-Ever" With A Pot Of Leftover Refried Beans Discovered That The Site's Keeper Had Not Showered In Over 3 Months. She Also Possessed One Golden Retriever And One Banjo. Pete Immediately Asked To Play The Banjo And Subsequently Entertained The Group All Night Singing Songs Around The Campfire. J's Love For Dogs Prevented Him From Enjoying Even One Minute Of Pete's Music But It Was Later Told By His Trip Cader That Pete "was Pretty Good". And Thus It Began. J Tried To Convince Pete To Audition For The All-Male A Cappella Group He Was Directing That Year The World-Renowned "Zumbyes." Pete Was Quite Uncomfortable With The Idea. But J Seemed Alright And Pete Showed Up For The Audition. Pete Ended Up Joining The Amherst College Zumbyes Even Though It Was And Still Is Well Understood That College A Cappella Is Super Lame. After Joining The Group They Had To Be Friends. Again Pete Was Quite Uncomfortable With The Idea. Aside From Zumbye World Domination Pete And J Began Strumming Guitars And Singing "Kumbaya" Together. How Cute! Craving A Band But Not Finding The Necessary Counterparts Led Pete And J To Begin Writing And Performing Acoustically At The Marsh Coffeehouse Open Mic. The Two Continued Jamming And Performing Together When Finally The End Of The Year Arrived And Pete Proposed That J Come And Live In Chicago To Play With His Former Band Mates In A New Summer Flavor The Cartwheel Kids. Despite The Sesame Street-Like Band Name And A Super-Awkward First Show In Winnetka IL The Band Decided To Focus On Recording And Subsequently Turned Out A Few Of Our Favorites To A Smattering Of Sales And Light Applause. Over The Next Few Years Pete And J Wrote And Performed As Much As They Could Given Their Busy College Schedule Of Parties Gigs Girlfriends And Procrastination. During The Summers Thy Recorded Stripped-Down Acoustic Versions Of The Tunes They Were Working On All Of Which Would Eventually Be Released On Without A Band In 2005. By J's Senior Year Pete And J Graduated From The Tepid And Quite Awkward Engagements Of Marsh Coffeehouse To A Handfu Of Private Functions For Amherst College And A Weekly Gig At The Famous McMurphy's Uptown Tavern. And Boy Was It Worth The Long Walk Uptown! Sunday Nights Began To Rock Like Mondays Or Even Tuesdays That Felt Like Wednesdays Or Thursdays. Needless To Say Everyone Felt Good. Simultaneously The Pair Founded Their College Frat-Rock Band The Naughty Muffins! Throwing A Party Every Three Weeks Or So In The Infamous Seelye Ballroom The Muffins Were Naughty Very Naughty. They Rocked Amherst College And Select Members Of The Other Four Colleges In The Area With Such Landmark Shows As Muffstock Muffaroo And Of Course Muffapalooza Back To The Bakery.
