Q&A with Tyler |
|
|
|
"In the Fall of 1998 a clumsy skateboarding accident led to a
chance encounter between Mark Mcinnis, Aaron j. Ferri and
Tyler J. Montgomery. Upon their first meeting it was obvious
that the three had nothing in common. Tyler was a cocky college kid, Mark a fresh-faced
computer Jockey and Aaron a wound-up Sandwich shop
manager. To the naked eye they had the makings of nothing
more than a bad episode of “Beat the Geeks”. But when the washing machine in the dark Allston basement switched to
spin cycle and quieted enough to make out the
notes stumbling from Mark's guitar, there were smiles. The trio had given birth to Typhoon Ferri." |
