Phil Lectrum Quartet

Phil Lectrum Quartet, an obscure experimental jazz band. No one else in the industry even agreed that they were actually a jazz band at all. A slackerish band, they spent much more time reading books, watching movies and chatting then they actually spent rehearsing or preforming. The band's leader Phil Lectrum was a weekend nudist and Emokian magician. He recruited his old high school buddy Erms Coyloo to play drums. Erms was a lazy drunk with a heart of cheddar. They had three gigs over a sixteen month period at the Infected Scar Tissue, an industrial/goth club. During this time they were called The Textfiles and as a two-piece band they played distorted heavy staccato art noise that few liked. Gan Phemps, an electric bass player and part time fishnet fetishist, however, loved their stuff and he chatted them up and was soon a full on card carrying member. The most ambitious of the band, he also made sculptures out of ice cream and yodelled on a late night pirate radio show. Now they were the Phil Lectrum Trio, with Gan influancing them towards a smoother less distorted jazz sound. They were the first of the Infictive County jazz scene. Later comers to the scene such as The Shunting, and The McFing 6 would be the musical trend that put Infictive County on the radio map. They played as the P L Q for several months before hooking up with Ross Kantner, an angry cokehead with a heart of Sausage. The band was finally in it's album heard line up. Since Ross was the new comer, he was stuck with beer run chores and he had to sleep in the worse cot during they're tours. They all pitched in money for a few months for recording studio sessions. During this waiting period is when they wrote the rest of the Masked Festival album. They finally created they're album at Marching Mushroom Studio, a legendary studio, having been burned to the ground eigthteen times since it's establishment as a one track cassette deck studio in the 1980's. The studio had fallen on Hard times, and this was year seven of them. They traded studio time for three fast food happy packs brought to them by the band before each recording session. The entire time of the Masked Festival sessions there was no studio fire, a new record for Marching Mushrooms. However when they returned to record they're follow up album, the place at burned to ash. Molly MegBonnet a cute little blond girl with round glasses and a tight firm ass went from an adoring teenage fan of The Phil Lectrum Q, to a groupie to a taking meth-dildos rectally in contraband porn videos. Somewhere along the way she wrote The True Story of The Phil Lectrum Quartet
