Were started practicing and writing songs and things just clicked!!! We played our first real gig at the Che Cafe in January of 04.Later on Mike quit the band on a count of we offered him a raisen cookie. After that we had met a kid by the name of Sam, and this be the beginning of Rigamortis Tortus!
