About Four for Smoking – Rock Music with a Twist of Nerd.

Dungeon Master Nic ”Riblets” Morgan [Aka Commander and Chief Emo]: BASS GUITAR
MrMorgan is a master of all things glorious and bass guitar related. Such as playing said instrument and looking damn fine doing so. Frank and Gabe met in a land of magic, wonder, and possibilities known as Mulligan’s. It was here that a bond was formed. We are talking about the kind of bond that transcends all known realms of painful and lifeless normality. These two prophets were led by a higher form and asked only to do the one thing that makes them happy, play music.

The Danger Machine, [Aka Danger, or The Dangerful One]: KEYBOARDS
Franklin Curtis has stated that he has never seen a more dangerful keyboard player in his lifetime than the Danger Machine. This is likely because she is a machine programed to emit danger. This long sought combination of total annihilation and a cute little dress, were final factor in the perfection that the prophets Jeremy Enik, and Robert Smith had foretold.

Marticus Goodrich, [Aka Captain Marticus]: VOCALS/RHYTHM GUITAR
Marticus is kind of an asshole. As a guitar player he is sub-par with little singing or writing ability, but his shear ability to make friends and slightly higher-than-the-average tech-geek good looks, have kept the band rolling in singles. His two most common phrases are “buy me whiskey” and “quiet down bitch.” He plays RPG’s and watches Sci-Fi, both of which listeners will find reference to in his songwriting.

Luigi Mario, [Aka JT (J-Tiggles), Fuck you Emo! or Shut the hell up!]: DRUMS
The final shoe dropped just short of an overdose with appearance of Luigi Mario. We are not sure where this guy came from. He followed us home one night refused to leave, and just as we were about to throw him out on his ass, he mentioned that he could play the drums. So we gave him a tryout. We figured that Quattro (our original drummer) was so smacked-up all the time, he wouldn’t even notice if we gave him the boot.
Mikey Golczynski, [AKA Jr9]: LEAD GUITAR
JR9, of the former band Broken Red Rocket has always been a friend of FFS. One day Marticus was drunk and a bit upset that someone called his guitar work “weak”. He and Riblets began to conbsider ways to add more depth to the guitar work and solution was obvious, a lead guitarist. Having reached this epiphany, they began to seek out the one who would help them shape the future of rock. This of course let to the solicitation of the best uncommitted guitarist they could find. After just few practices the band had drawn Mikey in, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Our music has been described as hypnotic “schizophrenic acoustic pop rock with faux metal moments,” very pleasant, indie pop-ish, quirky, catchy, sad, beautiful, awesome, suicide inducing, that damn song, and absolute garbage. its also good on sandwiches. All music is written, performed, and produced interdependently by Four For Smoking in the Green Room.
