It all started with two kids from federal way on one fine
day February '01. One who played guitar for most of his
life (Evan), and one who didn't know what the hell he was
doing so he got a drum set (Cory). At first all they could
play were MxPx instrumentals and old blink songs and
called themselves Spiral 67. They were constantly seeking
a bassist, and found a couple who didn't quite fit. So on
they went still with no bassist and no microphones, and
then one day someone named Andy heard from somebody else
that Evan and Cory were starting a band and we let our
bassist who we had at the time go and Andy joined. All
three hit it off real well and one day at Federal way High
school Andy tells Evan that he might have found us a
bassist/singer, so Andy brings this Sam kid over and they
get to talking and it just so happens Sam is now in Spiral
67. The first practice they all had together went really
well and they had begun to start their first song, but
something wasn't quite right, it was the name, Spiral 67,
it sucked. So they brainstormed for a while and up came
names such as, Orgasmic Weapon, Omega 3, and Bug smashed
on a yellow curb with a friggin hammer cuz he thinks
sledding is fun. But one reigned above all, and that name
was, Mystic Jimmie. They all loved it when it was
mentioned so they held on to it. The story behind this
name comes from Cory's brother and his friend back in '98.
They wanted to form their own band and they got the idea
Mystic Jimmie from a band on the MTV show Daria named
Mystic Spiral. They thought, and thought, and thought and
came up with Mystic Jimmie, why Jimmie?, hell, I don't
know, and I could really care less. So the four high
schoolers inherited the name from the drummer's brother
December of '01. From that day forward, the kids have been
playing at high schools, Clubs, Skate parks, they've also
been recording at places that turn out to be the worst
sounding thing you've ever heard and places that sound
pretty damn good. They are currently trying to make a
living while trying to get the hell out of school with
decent grades and doing their best to make their music.
Other than that, they're breaking though as a four of a
kind, with a bond strong as steel, never to be broken.
