In 1817, Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, boldly stated that great things always come in threes.
In 1998, Whitney's baffling non sequitur was finally proven correct when Mister Neutron, a surf/instrumental/garage trio from New Jersey, burst onto the gimpy rock 'n' roll scene. They packed a wallop, offering three times the talent, displaying times the creativity, and consuming three times the legal limit of cotton and gin.
Mister Neutron is Damian Fanelli (guitarist and music writer – check out his Slacktone feature in the February 2008 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine), Tony Fanelli (bassist and lover of fine things) and Drew Paradine (drummer and champion mouser).
