Hey Melissa,

I'm sort of surprised that you haven't heard of us...we've played several quality venues, such as Tully's Sports Bar and the downstairs den.

Still, we have become accustomed to being one of the best kept secrets in the music industry. But apparently, thanks to the increasing popularity of Computer Applications class, that secret is getting out!

Now, how did we come up with the name "Spork?" Good question. And the short answer is that the Spork is truly a thing of beauty. The perfect utensil if you will.

It brings together elements of scooping and poking that simplifies the lifting process of any meal. Just as our band brings together elements of funk, blues, rock and pop to create the Alt-Rock-Funk sound that has made us relatively famous among guitarist Nate's co-workers and blog-mates.

It's almost poetic. However, also patently untrue. The name Spork was adopted because we all used to go to Taco Bell after practices and/or unsatisfactory college cafeteria meals. And Taco Bell is one of the few restaurants to provide patrons with the perfect utensil.

For even more on our name choice, and the formation and background of Spork, check back soon* when we (finally) launch the redesigned PerfectUtensil.com. A brand new bio will be available, along with many fun and interesting features you just can't get at the old Utensil.

Hope you enjoyed the music clips. And if not, I hope your teacher fails you miserably for wasting time surfing the Net in class.

Thanks for writing,

Blaise from Spork
