History: Brandon and Jesse met during a game of tag in 1980, when they were both in the fourth grade at Mariemont Elementary School in Sacramento, CA. Besides recess activities, they also shared interests in drawing X-Men characters, playing video games on the Commodore 64, and making Super8 home movies with animated action figures.

They both attended Rio Americano High School (alma mater of Molly Ringwald) and collaborated on the Xeroxed comic book series, The Wacky-Cool Adventures of Fred Robinson. Fueled by lots of Miller Genuine Draft plus culinary creations like "pizza burritos" and "fried vegan slop," they also invented card games, and even their own decks of cards.

After high school, in the early 90s, Brandon and Jesse both grew their hair long and played in a whole mess of short-lived bands, including Several Idiots, Better Fred, Mr. Distorto, Bluefish, Pissant, The Shawn Waco Experience, Styrohound, and New World Toad. They continued Fred's adventures while attending American River Junior College (and later UC Santa Cruz), and also made a zine about their community house, Merrywood.

In 1999, now living more than two thousand miles apart, they decided to embark on a new studio project, called Superstring. Their first release is 2003's "Artificial Stupidity."

In 2007, Superstring recorded fifty-two one-minute songs during the year in a game they invented called Musical War. Each week each person either started or finished one song, depending on a pair of drawn cards. (52 cards --> 52 weeks)

In 2008 they mixed and mastered all 52 songs.

In 2009 Superstring is releasing a song a week on their blog at superstring52.blogspot.com
