About Marshall Hiwatt
Marshall Hiwatt is a trio of rock musicians that have come together to save the world. Born during the great shamdemic of 2020, these three musicians united to eliminate bordem, feed the poor, heal the sick, shelter and potentially even cure cancer… no one is actually sure, but we will find out as the future unfolds.
Sven Gattermeyer is the founder of this great gathering of talent. Fresh off a solo tour of Medieval Europe (Don’t want to brag… but yes, we have our own time machine. Patent pending), Sven felt that his guitar virtuosity needed something more. As he sought his trusty gold-plated Ouija board for answers… the first name appeared… MORK! Yes, Mork would be the first addition to this quest of hard rocking pioneerism. But, recognizing sometimes the Ouija… well… it does not spell well, Sven consulted some other musicians for answers. So talking to a few people about the dilemma, they mentioned a kick-ass drummer named Mark… maybe one letter off is not that bad, he thought.
Mark Alexander was added to the band. Okay, I know what you are thinking, this is more ike a duo or duet, but trust me… we will get there! Mark came in and they toyed around with another musician for a bit, but something was missing. It was those damn drums! “Double bass drums!”… “You are missing a tom”… Sven would yell as the torment from the lack of double bass drum patterns kept ripping out his soul. Mark said, “We don’t even have a bass player, Sven, shut the hell up and get someone. If you don’t I am going to call a guy I know that… well, he just doesn’t suck too much. But, we need somebody!” Mark was thinking of his friend Randy… maybe that was the key.
Randy Hardin was tinkering on his bass when Mark called. Skeptical that these things ever work out, he asked a few questions. He asked, “Does the douche bag guitarist wear parachute pants?”. Mark said no. Randy smiled as this answer pleased him. There is nothing worse than a fizzy-douche guitarist that wears parachute pants, he thought. He followed up with an off the wall question next, “Does he like King Diamond?”. Mark answered yes, supporting his answer by revealing that they all had been at the same concert in Chicago to see the King. He was going to give it a shot… Or was he going to do shots? Damn, I can’t remember.
Sven looked over what had happened and smiled. Once more, he consulted his trusty Ouija board asking who should be the next member. With that, the Ouija board trembled and shook in his hands… the planchette flew wildly around the room and struck him right in the balls. He winced, dropping the board as the planchette landed with a smack on the board. It started spinning and the howls of hell deafened all who were there to witness. Sven’s eyes widened as the planchette started to form the answer he sought…
