Sapat

Sapat was formed in 1921 by a tribe of nomadic Inuits who were bored one day waiting for the massive sea mammal they had just harpooned to die. they removed some whiskers from its still thrashing face and learned that by applying pressure to one end with a foot against the ground and pulling the whisker taught with one hand whilst plucking it with free hand, they could approximate a limited scale of notes to accompany the poems they had been composing about impregnating their wives.
soon, the sea mammal caught a second wind and ate half the newly formed band. luckily, it only ate the untalented members.
the rest of the band took this as a sign and they promptly skipped town as fast as they could skip. while it took them a while to adjust to the humidity and racism, they eventually settled in to a comfortable life in Louisville, KY.
today, almost half of the uneaten half of the original band still exists and more or less functions as a unit. occasionally they write a new song but they soon forget it as severe senile dementia has set in, so what you hear on record and stage is more or less what they played that fateful day with the whiskers of that great beast.
incidentally, Sapat means "hurry the fuck up and die, i'm hungry!" and traditionally was pronounced in one's grumpiest possible voice.
