Well hello my name is Samuel Anthony Greenhorne and together with my brothers Oliver Greenhorne and Peter Beefheart, we are the Greenhornes. We like to say that we play Punk Blues but its all the same to you. We all live in a very poor part of Hungary and can not even afford guitars yet. I play a box with tennis raquet strings attached, peter bops his beats on some pans and Oliver plays a weasel, which he twists to produce his unique sounds.
Band/artist history
Well, as I said im very very poor and my mother brought me up all on her own and we had very little money, clothes, food or money. She worked nights and would return home with her dress covered in mens sex wee, so I assumed she must work at a sperm bank. Well it was one day when I watching Bill and Ted,I noticed that Ted played the guitar, instantly I was entranced and so I knew I needed to play guitar, I just knew, so I went to the local guitar store where they were selling them for $150 and this kind of money was unheard of where I came from so I was at a dead end. So I needed some money, when suddenly i saw a business opportunity, in my poor area there were lots of single mothers, and what do single mothers love most ............ SPERM!! And it was so convenient that my mother worked in a sperm bank, so every night I scraped my mums dress and pubic hair cleanand saved 12 ounces of sperm, I sold it at $1.75 a shot to mothers who wanted children for government benefit without the hassle of a man. Soon i could afford my guitar and a guitar it was. But i needed a band, when only days later I got a letter from Oliver my brother who had apparently died at birth but he said he hadent died and when they put his cold foetus in the bin he survived on womb juice from other babies and soon was able to open the bin and walk, and luckily he played the guitar too. But we lacked a drummer, when as we were walkin down the street we heard a beat been bopped and been bopped it was, we then saw this small scawny elf like character beating his stomach to the beat of a train. Words were passed and in days we were and we are and we always have been and will been and have been the GreenHornes.
