gave me anything to put in here so I'm just going to make stuff up. -Brian View Steve's Picture Gallery.
Steve was born, much later than the rest of us, in Pittsburgh, PA. Not much
is known about his parents because he was raised by a friendly pack of wolves
in South Park. They taught him how to pick through the garbage left by picnickers
on the weekends for food and to howl at the moon. By the age of 12 he had become
the leader of the pack and master of all the creatures in the park. It was a
beautiful thing having all those little minions do his bidding. At age 13 however
he was sighted and stories began to spread all over about the "Wolf Boy"
living in South Park, his days were numbered. A party was assembled to capture
our hero, dead or alive. Luckily, he was captured alive (obviously) but only
after an epic battle between man and the beasts of South Park, it was definitely
the stuff movies are made of. Steve, though master of the beasts, was not a
master of strategy and his forces were overcome.
He was taken in by a wonderful family from the South Side who taught him how
to talk like them. They also introduced him to music, by way of the many Donnie
Iris records they had laying around. Steve was a quick study, though still a
little "wolfy" (for lack of a better word), he managed to graduate
high school with people his own age, or so we think, and also mastered many
musical instruments. He then came to Penn State to further his education. Soon
he was playing in bands "Bluesuedegroove" most notably (do yourself
a favor, get their records). Soon after bidding adieu to Bluesuede he began
talking with Velveeta. They were about to be in need of a bass player and Steve
was willing to try anything. Velveeta said, "You the man". Steve said,
"Whoo Hooo".
And the rest is history. Oh and by the way Steve also plays with the amazing
State College acoustic duo Steve
and Todd, look out for them it's too good a time!
