A complete history of Stupidity

Stupid Stupid Stupid and Steve: A biography. (being the story of four guitarists, three trumpeters, two trombonists, two drummers, a bassist, a singer, and a foolish amount of booze)

After months of procrastination, a bass player called Chris put up a poster advertising his desire to form a metal band, inviting guitarists, drummers, and vocalists to give him a call. Not long after this, Chris received a call from a guitarist called Kieran, who was similarly interested in forming a metal band. The two met up, jammed out some Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine covers, and agreed to meet up again when theyd found a drummer. Chris procrastinated for several more weeks, and then got in touch with a drummer called Steve, who, having just left a band called Djevara, was very interested in joining a metal band. The three met up, jammed out some Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine covers, and agreed to meet up again when theyd found a singer. At this point, a singer named Tom said he would be more than happy to join a punk band. Chris looked confused, and then accepted. Before this line-up could meet, however, Kieran discovered he didnt really have time to be in a band.
Undeterred, Tom brought his guitar-playing housemate, Tim, to the first rehearsal, where Steve was surprised to discover he was now jamming out covers of Green Day, Blink 182, and Guttermouth. Unfortunately, Tim came down with food poisoning on the day of the second rehearsal (although not before he suggested Stupid Stupid Stupid as a band name). Fortunately, a man named Dan happened to carry a guitar past Tom and Chris as they made their way to rehearsal, and was subsequently press-ganged into accompanying them, and then becoming permanent guitarist. Several rehearsals, and a first gig later (the set list included covers of songs by Green Day, Blink 182, and Guttermouth), Tom announced that he had recruited a trumpet player named James, and a man named Matt made the mistake of wandering past Tom and Chris while carrying a trombone. With a full line-up, and a newly press-ganged brass section, Stupid Stupid Stupid and Steve (Steve wasnt stupid) proceeded to rock very hard indeed. Steve then left to become a pilot.  Matt heroically overcame this setback, by introducing the band to the barman, who, as luck would have it, was a drummer. Sam joined the band, and they continued to rock very hard indeed. Dan then left to travel the world (last seen somewhere in Australasia), and James departed to get a real job.  At this point, Tom invited his then-girlfriends housemate, a Mr. W. Johnathan Harmless, to take over on guitar, while Matt recruited Steve Pretty, the worlds jazziest man, to take over on trumpet, and Making the Band Name Work Again Duties. However, Steves commitment to jazz meant that he was unable to remain with the band for long. The band soldiered on regardless, before adding Good Sam to the line-up as a second trombonist. Good Sam then moved to London, from where he continues to lend his skills to the mix whenever possible (hear him play on the bands eponymous debut ep) The remainder of the band played on, until John discovered an unknown Tim in his phonebook, and called him. Fortunately for everyone concerned, Tim turned out to be a trumpet player, whom John had met while drunk, and had been wondering when he would be contacted to rehearse with the band. With a complete line-up once again, and a renewed sense of purpose, Stupid Stupid Stupid and Steve are prepared to bring Brassed-Up Punk (Improves with Alcohol) to a venue near you
