As you wander from table to table, most of the people are glad to share their tales of the Mackenzie-Parker Gang.

The bartender warns you about the gang:

Back in 1862, there lived a band of outlaws, as well

known for their picking fingers as their trigger fingers.

Although they were rumored to be based somewhere in

Texas, they robbed banks, trains, Western Union offices,

stagecoaches and such from San Francisco to Montreal.

Composed of some of the baddest gunslingers ever to

carry guitars, they entertained the townfolk as they

robbed their bank. A descendant of one of the gang

members, Billy Joe Parker XII, attempted nearly 400

years later to time transport them all into his century.

An experiment gone wrong, The Mackenzie-Parker Gang

landed in the present. We are now proud to bring you this

and of outlaws captured on CD. So dust off your spurs,

grab your gun and saddle up, The Mackenzie-Parker Gang

is getting ready to ride.

 

You meet Farley at the bar and he says:

"The Mackenzie-Parker Gang's debut CD was recorded with the Big Mountain Remote Studio based on the Pro Tools Digital Recording system. But the secret location of the recording would be known only by those who were party (or was it partying) to the process. To see what some of the way cool effects are, just click on my hat"

 

He adds: "The CD was mastered at Metalworks by the very excellent Nick "the Professor" Blagona". Check them out.

 

Farley's sidekick, L'il Buck, tells of a rumour:

Check it out

 

"And furthermore," he adds:

Check it out

 

 

You spot a completely inebriated dude who nobody is messing with playing cards at one of the tables . You approach to see if maybe it's someone who can help you find the MPGang and their hideout. What luck! You have found Early Cadieux. But be careful 'cause he's an ornery hombre, he's armed to his tooth and he's hammered!

"Wadda ya want?"

You have a few questions for him:

 

1- Where are the boys in MPG from?

 

Billy Joe Parker was born in Urbana, Illinois, the son of prairie schoolteachers.

Mick Mustang comes from a place called Junkyard (Jonquiere) in northern Quebec.

Mack Mackenzie is from Restigouche.

Wes Harding is from Bonham, Texas and he's the son of a Methodist circuit preacher.

Robert Parker is from Beaver Utah, his family coming in the second Mormon handcart procession.

Bill Doolin is from Johnstone county, Arkansas, the son of a farmer, he was the leader of the "Oklahombres".

Old Bill Miner is from Milledgeville, Georgia, the son of a miner.

And I was born in a prison in Mexico

 

2- What do you say to folks who might question your outlaw methods?

 

Well, as one of the greatest conceptual musicians of our time, Alice Cooper, says:" Everybody is a little tired of Peace & Love"

 

3- How do I get to the Gang's hideout to join the Gang?

 

The Gang only takes those with cunning, nerve and a good shot. Head out on the Old Mine road and try not to do anything foolish. Although by the looks of you, that's gonna be a mighty tall order.

 

4- Where will I be able to see the Gang in 1999?

 

We'll be coming to banks near you all throughout the year.

 

5- What is the Treasure of the Hominid valley?

 

Buzz off before I shoot you.

 

If you have any questions for the band, , and I'll post the better ones.
