As the origin story goes, four pet turtles are exposed to a liquid mutagen during a traffic accident at which their young owner is a bystander. The mutagen causes animals to become more human-like in intelligence and dexterity.It is then that Splinter decides to train the young Turtles in ninjutsu... wait..no thats the Ninja turtles. Well I'm sure that Pole Position has a origin just as cool.

Name-Seth

Guitar

Random Fact-Won't explain why his name and number are written on the men's room wall of a Walmart in Kansas.

Bio-Seth grew up in an Indiana town and had a good lookin' mamma that never was around. But he grew up tall and he grew up right, later graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Tired of cold weather and colder women, Seth set his sights westward, but his car broke down in St. Louis. He decided to stick around after hearing there was a band of really smart, successful, good-looking guys who were looking to hire a guitar player, but when they wouldn't take him he joined Pole Position. Since that fateful day he hasn't looked back. Well, actually he looks back quite frequently, but that's more to make sure Lou isn't being distracted by somebody's car keys.

Name-Adam

Bass

Random Fact-Knows WAY too much about the Gilmore Girls.

Bio-Adam's rise to the bottom of the barrel has not been an easy one. After playing music all of his life mostly in a Mili Vanili tribute band he was abruptly let go once it was discovered that he was actually playing (too bad what he was playing sounded nothing like the recorded song). He later tried a variety of odd jobs, one of those was a back-up sweat dancer on Richard Simmons' "SWEATIN TO THE OLDIES IV" "he was the 3rd one on the left with the pink sweats on" this filled the void for a little while. However, Adam soon discovered that rising cholesterol, uncontrollable sweating, and various bouts with gout was no way to live his life. So he decided to return to his true calling a cover band. After shedding 438 pounds ( mostly due to the Steve Segal inspirational workout tape "I still wear the same jeans I wore in the 80s" the other part was due to a slight coke addiction). Adam finds himself in POLE POSITION a non stop action packed, effervescent, high octane cover band bubbling; NAY!!! EXPLODING with energy that will slather its 80s dance fury among all those crazy suckas who are daring enough to get their booties on the floor.

Name-Lou

Drums

Random Fact-Thinks a Volvo is a part of a woman's anatomy.

Bio-Lou is a man of many talents, most of them not involving music and probably best kept behind closed doors. At a young, tender age, Lou landed the most coveted gig in St. Louis, playing for Tim Trace in Surrender Dorothy, beating out his primary competitor, Harold, who wasn't so much a drummer as an older gentleman who held a mic up to his pacemaker. Lou played with the St. Louis juggernaut Surrender Dorothy for several years until they "accidentally" forgot to tell him they were leaving after a gig at a truck stop in Oklahoma. Lou eventually returned to St. Louis with a dream to join a kick-ass dance band and a tip jar full of nickels that he refuses to talk about even to this day.


Name-Josh

Vocals

Random Fact-Is still pissed that he didn't get Castle Greyskull for Christmas back in 1984.

Josh came to America when his family immigrated from China 6 months ago. Josh learned life's lessons in what he calls the "School of Hard Knocks", probably referring to his time playing pranks on himself to pass the lonely days of his childhood. Years later, while playing in an original band named after an incident involving his poor english skills and a horrible hand lotion accident (lye by mistake) and playing sold out solo acoustic shows on a guitar built from the wooden raft that carried his family to the Land of Opportunity's shores (a loading dock in East St. Louis), Pole Position hired Josh when he wasn't looking. And, after doctoring up some incriminating photos, the lads "convinced" Josh to stay. Josh spends most of his time with his new BFF's as they show up where ever he is whether he wants them there or not.
