STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS band Formed officially on December 25, 1992, in the suburbs of Indianapolis,IN. Initially a trio calling themselves M.J.D.(Michael Jackson Disciples). This incarnation of the group, which would go on to be the founding core of future manifestations, recorded on full length cassette, entitled, "Frolic and Demonic's Cousin...Live. Released only locally, the single from this release was an anti-government anthem entitled, "Nothing b/w Stewart".

The three members, Michael "Mike P" Pitzer, guitars, Jason "Bruehob" Elias, bass/vocals, and Dub Hedge, drums/lead vocals. At this time there was an offical fourth meber who ran sound, engineered, and would when inspired to do so would play a second guitar, but was originally slated to be the lead vocalist, Robert "Cpl. Larvey" Harvey.

Mike P., and Dub had grown up down the street from each other and had played music together in various different "bands." The first of which was a band Mike named, "The Boston Baked Beans." The Beans were suppose to be a punk rock four piece consiting of Dub,on bass, Mike on guitar, Chuck "WideLoad" McLemore (Dub's brother), drums, and James "Jaimie" Pitzer (Mike's brother) on keyboards. Other than a couple of lip synch videos, and Dub. Mike, and Chuck practicing maybe once, it never really took off. The boys had never really heard punk rock, and didnt have any keyboards.
