How it began:

It all started when Adam, the band’s bassist, found a mysterious marble with an odd logo in the middle of it. He picked it up and polished the dirt off of it, and before he knew it, a huge green flash revealed a beautiful woman standing before him. She claimed to be a genie and that she could grant him wishes from now on. Skeptical at first, Adam shrugged it off as a prank, but with some coaxing from the genie, he got to test her powers, and verified  her as legitimate.

Eventually, though, the genie’s ambitions got the better of her, and she tricked Adam into saying “I wish I was in a band”. So with that, she appointed herself the singer of the newly formed band, and decided to stick around with Adam from now on, much to his discontent. She named the band “Free in Green” due to the green flash that the orb makes when she’s freed from it’s confinement.

Overly ambitious about her new band, Smoker (the genie) signed up Adam and herself for a local battle of the bands, completely disregarding Adam’s constant reminders that they didn’t have any material, any instruments, or any other bandmates. Smoker took that as a challenge and decided to appoint Adam the bass player because he was “so boring” and didn’t enjoy the thrill of being in the band enough to just wing it on stage. She then, in a flash of pink light, used a nearby costume closet’s innards to create a guitarist, Aptiva, and a nearby candy dish to make Mint, the drummer. Finally, they registered themselves into the contest and waited for their turn to take the stage.

Finally, as they got up on stage, the announcer of the event introduced the band as “Freen in Green”, apparently a typo had been made when they were registering their names, but Smoker (as the self-appointed band leader) thought it sounded quirky and catchy, so she decided to keep the name. The song they played that day was completely astounding,  and while they didn’t win first place (Damn you, craptastic pop bands!) they decided to get serious about it, even Adam, whom was always serious anyway, slightly warmed up to the idea. Thus “Freen in Green” began.
