Michael Wiescott Television was born April 10th 1982 to giant afro-cuban garden gnomes. His upbringing in the gnome culture led to his interesting and often misunderstood concept of what "art" and "music" should be. Indeed he has developed a sound reminiscent of beluga whales giving birth to buicks.
