Mergatroid was the result of me, Chiz, and a bottle of liquor. It started off as a "band". Aaron was on the rhythm guitar, and I played lead. After realizing that he had no guitar skills, Chiz switched to keyboards. When we woke up in the morning, we went over to "THE STREET", which is basically where this band was given life. We had found a bass player in Nathan Kramer. Brian Dietz told us to listen to his drumming when he started playing. I hopped in for a few songs with him and Jesus. Brian's brother, Eric, begged me to give him a shot. Chiz and I discussed it, and approved.

After a little bit, Nathan and I both left due to an incident that involved him and one of my ex's. I came back to find that Eric had been recruited as a bassist. Thus the legendary line-up was formed. January 22, 2000 was my first show. Mergatroid was thrown off of the stage in 9 minutes.

I was off and on in this band. I was always leaving to recover from stress. I've found that this band is in a race with Pigface. The line-ups constantly changed. I came back after Cherry Scented to play an astounding performance with Ari on vocals. I just didn't feel like I belonged with that band anymore. I left to became a one band man with One Sick Lie. Do I regret it? You'd better fucking believe it. The line-up currently involves my ex-girlfriend Carin on vocals, and I am so jealous of her. This band will definately go a lot farther than any of us had anticipated.
