Promised LST Treasures!!

So I promised some intimate details of LST members lives. Well here they are:

Nathan Benjamin Geyer- A western Olympia native Nathan is a man not to be trifled with. His skill with a trombone once fatally wounded a passing triceratops when we decided to play a gig in the Cretaceous Period.

Andrew Chard- Hailing from Spokane, “Chard” is the newest member of the divine LST. He is by far the most effeminate. He is currently looking for a new love in his life so please contact him at LSTBooking@hotmail.com and I will make sure your letters get to him. He tells me that he is looking for a mature woman 35-55 to start a serious relationship.

Francesco Mario Bertucci- Franco, a.k.a. Papa Taxi, once toured Italy as the Pope’s official juggler/ acrobat. Because of his humanitarianism, Europe was able to unify to a single currency. It was originally to be called the “Franco” but someone realized that “euro” made more sense. Finally in 2007 I let Franco change his middle name to “Mario”. I have been his mentor for many years.

Sam Stockard- This summer is “Medium” Sammy’s return to LST. We hope in a few months he will be Medium-Well.

Mario Antonio Pesacreta-Once in a desperate bid for my own life I returned to Vulcan in order to save Kirk from transcending into a being of pure energy. I needed him to help me melt the ice caps in the center of 17th century Asia created by the Borg. Being half-panda, half-man had its benifits that day!!

Thanks for tuning in. Everything I said is one hundred percent true. Especially about Andrew Chard.

Year of the Rat!!!!

What do lovers of the locust have to look forward to this summer? In a word… me! I have brilliant new songs, a few new high notes, and a trumpet that looks like I bent it over my knee, because I did. As for the others members of the band… Chard learned a lot in prison this year including how to knit cozies for his graphic novels, Nathan decided that he should listen to more music than just show tunes, our new/old drummer Sam has entered puberty (see his facial hair for proof), and Francesco Bertucci, our fearful leader, has learned yet again what the rage of the panda feels like! Thats a figurative slap in the face with a bamboo rod!!!

But in all seriousness the band sounds great this year we are even going to practice. We have a new album Harvest of 2007, or ‘07, or whatever.

Stay Tuned for a list of facts about Locust Street Taxi members that will help you to see them in a more human light. Although we are rock stars we are NOT gods. Think of us more as demi-gods, like Hercules.

Until then,  keep  your  valves oiled,  your  slides lubed, and your bell polished.
