A 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 recruted his old high school buddy Erms Coyloo to play drums. Erms was a lazy drunk with a heart of chedder. They had three gigs over a sixteen month period at the Infected Scar Tissue, a industrial/goth club. During this time they where called the textfiles and as a two piece band they played distorted heavy staccato art noise that few liked. Gan Phemps a electric bass player and part time fishnet fetishist however, loved they're 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 where 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.
