Tavon Underwood (keys/vox)

A dark and serious character by the name of Tavon Underwood complemented the jams with his unequaled talents on the keys. In “dark and serious” one should be particularly careful not to read “sinister,” for he was anything but. Only his eyebrows carried the traits, but they covered much of his face. Once when he was a boy, Tavon was struck by lightning in the middle of a dense forest. He had been practicing the esoteric art of Tai Chi, and as he was hugging a scrawny tree, the storm shifted toward his center. As a result, he became very high-strung and refused, later in life, to touch any potentially addictive substances or chemicals, with the very notable exception of chocolate. Tavon seems to be the only member of the group that bothered to write down lyrics that he cared for. He even took the extra precaution of writing them down on the sides of styrofoam cups so they wouldn't disintegrate in less than 4,000 years; he was also careful to leave these fragments wherever he happened to be sitting at the time.
