Pringles' journey into ska addiction started like so many similar stories.. peer pressure from fellow marching band nerds to become "One of Us". Through all sorts of punk-ska samples, he resisted the sirens call, until “Maggie Mae” finally served up a beer. College brought a period of recovery, and he was able to balance the ska itch with work and school, family and friends for years, until one fateful spring evening in Huntington Beach brought on a full-blown I relapse. As a founding member of The Originals, he dusted off his old metallic clarinet and stopped resisting the urge. Now known as a member of any band with a member dumb enough to even talk to him, you're likely to spot him at any show about town, always in his trusty "spectacle and mustache" disguise. Say hi if you dare, just don't tell him you have a band too!
