Tighty Willis and the Friends Forever Band was formed by two young men who reside in the chicagoland area: Colin Hatch and Gregory Barnes. Colin is the body of the group and Greg is the clothing. They first met in 1998(a year that brought us great music such as Pulp's This is Hardcore, Beck's Mutations, OutKast's Aquemini and Celine Dion's Lets Talk About Love) and despised each other. 7 years later they were best friends. 8 years later they talked about forming a band and making an album. 9 years later they made an album. 10 years later it came out. Hizzzah!
