Description

Once upon a time, there were two San Jose English Lit majors who formed a band, but couldn't figure out what to call themselves. "We're writers," one said, "We should call ourselves The Writers." After much thought and a bottle of bourbon, they decided that they should think big or go home, hence they adopted the name the Great American Novelists. "But what kind of music would the Great American Novelists play?" one said. The obvious answer was traditional folk. "No," the other said, "That's what The Writers would be play. We are the Great American Novelists. We play folk, bluegrass and jangle-pop and mix it all up with tons of raw punk energy." They all lived happily ever after, although Thomas Pynchon declined to join. - Aaron Carnes sanjose.com
