it all began on a starry night after a christmas show at WOODS in severna park on December 22nd, umm...i think it was in 1999...we were playing with Jambalaya pete and da ganots, phobos, ib3, and point blank. As a steve & matt tradition from past summers of acoustic sessions & getting drunk off of nestea, we brought some along. After we were done our set, and everything was packed up it was time to tank up. This was TANK UP #1 (the begining.) A whole new world was open to us. So we tanked up every time after that when we played at Woods...considering Woods "Home base" for tanking up. as time went on, tanking up grew bigger and bigger..........pretty soon, tanking up will be nationwide, conquering cities and small towns.....
