Description:
The current line-up of 12 Years Wasted came together under quite bizarre circumstances. Guitar player Stephen Rodgers, who doesn't need a fucking backstory, found Joe L. on a street corner panhandling for change on the sidewalk. Hearing him shake his cup full of change, he felt that the ragged bum had a good sense of rhythm and decided that he could be one hell of a drummer. After several months of man-whoring, Joe L. bought his first drumkit and even though he had accomplished his goal, he has continued man-whoring to this day.
Band Members:
Njörd, whose last name consists of more letters than an Anne Rice novel, was delivered to Stephen's door in a box. He had left Norway with dreams of working on the PBS program "Mr. Rodgers' Neighborhood" as an indentured servant. Mr. Rodgers passed away during the long trip from Scandanavia and because he was clearly gay, Mr. Rodgers had left no heirs. For many months, it was unknown to whom his belongings would be given to. It was during this time of confusion that Njörd was forced to survive on cardboard box fibers and his own urine. Eventually, it was decided that the estate of Mr. Rodgers would be split up randomly among other people with the same last name. Last March, Njörd arrived at Stephen's door step and the rest should be history, but it was not that simple....
Njörd couldn't always sing. Stephen made him learn how to sing. After he had discovered a human enclosed in the package he received, Stephen just kicked the shit out of it, because he thought it was funny to see someone express pain in a foreign dialect. One day, in a fatefully uncharacteristic bout of generosity, Stephen agreed to allow Njörd his freedom, if he learned how to sing and agreed to become the frontman for 12 Years Wasted. Oh, and he had to lose the dumb accent as well. Six months later, an emaciated Njörd was let out of his cardboard home.
Wiggles the Possibly Gay Clown, or Josh as he's known now, joined the band after entertaining at the party celebrating Njörd's liberation. Stephen had felt that Njörd's hard work deserved the cheapest entertainment he could possibly find. Wiggles wasn't really that good at anything he did, except for being possibly gay, but everyone just felt so sorry for him.
