So.......we get this band together last fall ('09), and it takes a while to get it all sounding cool, but it's all good, and our lead guitarist, Fred, is really wailin'. Anyway, Fred keeps mentioning his brother, Mark, in the city. After a while, he starts talking about all these old Ramones shows he was at, then a few weeks later he brings in this old cassette of Markie Ramone & the Intruders and says he'd like to cover one of the songs on the album. He tells us it's called 'Telephone Love'. So, we're looking at the liner notes and it says 'Telephone Love' is written by Fred Bell. Fred Bell is the guy standing in front of us. At that point, he decides to mention that Mark is Markie Ramone. Anyway, long story short, we have finally launched a new band that features Fred Bell, Mark Bell Ramone's twin brother. It's called TAOST, and Markie has given his stamp of approval on the 1st song. It's a little mellower than Telephone Love, but the 2nd song is damn rockin'...........both are good, or I wouldn't be mentioning it. If anyone is curious.......
Fred sings on this one.
