Surrounded By Yankees

Larry is just a small-town guy with a perfect family. He works at a Planetarium in North Carolina. No big whoop. His real name is Joey Cusack and he’s been in hiding for twenty some-odd years. Once in Philly, he tried to rip Carl’s eye out with barbed knife (the ex bass player), and we don't know why he is so good at killing people? Maxx is genetically engineered to be superior physically and intellectually, was a prince who fought in the Eugenics Wars, ruled a quarter of the earth, and ran off with his disciples to freeze in a cryogenic chamber for decades. He also likes grape jolly ranchers. Andy covered up his own death and killed the two witnesses who last saw him. He’s a skilled medic (if not full-blown surgeon). He was in the army, and also worked for the government in Burma. He is on speaking terms with the heads of 5 separate nations. On weekends Andy like to eat peas and scare the neighbor kids. John's girlfriend Helen finds out, thanks to a shot of truth serum, that while she’s been married to John for 17 years, he’s actually been a spy for 18. Not only does he lead a secret life, he’s practically James Bond on steroids. He knows how to fly a Harrier, speaks a variety of languages, knows how to Tango, is quite knowledgeable about nuclear warheads (it’s not an ice cream maker), and is so important he’s allowed to use other operatives to spy and scare the hell out of his wife and a used car salesman. Oh, and they are all friends and get together to make music and plot! Surrounded By Yankees is: John Andersen on Drums, Maxx Andersen on Bass, Andy Lamb on Keyboards, and Larry Van Alstyne on Guitar.
