Hailing from Philly, Chris Casso and Mike Thatcher met at a Rub and Tug party in SoHo. Realizing they were homosexual, they found themselves ignoring all the Girls and debating things like "Beatles or Stones?" Deciding that they had a common vision for the future of rock music, but to stupid to know they can't sing. They had no choice but to start a band! With Thatcher on guitar, and Casso on lead vocals, they recruited fellow Philadelphian's Tom Walling on drums and Kjell Benner on bass and immediately began recording. Later joined on lead guitar by Dave Lenat, STD’s lineup was complete. After only 5 years as a band, they were playing their first show together at House Of Blues opening for Clutch. They usually never play live shows because they can't sing. However the album is a testement to the true talent of Chris Lord-Alge. Don't believe us? Just go to youtube and checkout one of their live shows. Meanwhile they will be posing in front of dilapidated houses because they think looking like they don't have money makes them seem hip. Not bad for a bunch of 40 year olds. But it's too bad no matter how much money mommy and daddy give them. It will never be enough to make them sound good live on stage. Read more on Last.fm.
