Any history that you read is most likely a pack of lies and blatant fiction, spread by someone with an agenda or trying to hide the truth. That being said, this history is completely true and unbiased.
When Askimbo was formed in the early 90's by a group of Denver North High School students, they had one objective, to unite the world in peace and harmony, and eliminate hatred and oppression. When they accomplished that goal, they decided they should stick together, as they were having so much fun. So since they had some instruments lying around, they figured a band would be a good use of their energies.
It wasn't.
