Richard "Cool-as-Hell" Sinclair and Michael "Punslinger" Honsinger have been making spontaneously original music together since soon after they first met in 1985. After a jam or two, the Punslinger lent Richard his Fostex X-15 4-track cassette recorder; Richard impressed him so much by writing the song "Forwards in Time" that the Punman joined forces and the dynamic duo soon morphed into Quantum Mechanix by combining musical gear, ideas, and jokes; and taking cassette 4-tracks to their very limits... and beyond! The first few years were extremely experimental! Combining Rock, Pop, Electronica and Beyond together, they blazed their own trail through the underground of the Olympia Underground music scene (unseen by K records, Steve Fiske, Bakini Kill, Marcy Playground, the Melvins, Nirvana, Bratmobile and many others). They should have called themselves Secret Identity! Afraid to share their music with anyone, they languished in obscurity which fueled even more inspired songs of worth! They have released one album: Quantum Mechanix '88 (11 years after Talking Heads '77) There were only 50 cassettes produced. They later joined forces with drummer Patrick Padovan (who played at their first 2 jams) and transformed into Art Official... recently they have been known to call themselves Triple Dog Dare.

Lyrics
I'm a Puppet Citizen You can tell by the State I'm in i don't work for change But I'm working for Chump Change Here I am again I didn't vote for you I didn't vote for me either I didn't vote again See our Puppet President Who we're forced to represent Bob's your Uncle President Is this what they call Government Lot's of Puppets on the Left Far too many on the Right So many Puppets Lose their heads There'll be more and more Strings attached You can bet they'll be jerking like made We could do with far less Jerks Hey Fellow Puppet Citizen Let's change this State we're in We can all begin again As Universal. Citizens There's more tolife besides Punch and Judy's Let's go somewhere else tonight Or stay at home so unlike the Movies Let's leave behind this Stage of our Lives Why do we go to Punch and Judy's anyway? I wanna be a real citizen I won't expect a lot of benefits A Puppet's just no way to live If we shove something's gotta gotta give!
