Smitch

There is much mystery masking the intergalactic super hero known as The Smitchens. Historians often argue he's older than the concept of time itself, but on the other hand his mother accused his behavioral patterns of being reminiscent of a twelve year old. How he came to be involved in music is an interesting story. Actually, no it's not. He started playing bass in his mid-teens and picked up guitar later. His first instrument was an enchanted Squier p-bass with +1/+1, flying, and wither (tap to deal 1 damage to target creature). When not posing in front of mirrors The Smitchens can be found writing and recording music in his studio The Smitchsonian Institute of Recording where he hits record and just sorta hopes for the best from there.
