Line 4:
They often introduce themselves as, "We're Mystik Spiral, but we're thinking of changing the name." Some of the alternate names have included "Helpful Corn" and "Something-Something Explosion". They also wondered aloud if it would help if they "spelled Mystik with 2 Ys".
==The band's
The
"In high school, they teamed up with drummer [[Max Tyler]] after he answered a notice placed in a local paper. Attracted by the pared-down, zen-like simplicity of the ad ('They charge by the word,' Trent notes), Max blew everyone away with his energy, drive, and ownership of a drum kit. The threesome played numerous basements throughout their teen years, developing their signature style of pioneering 'trance punk.' They changed their name to Mystik Spiral and immediately began reconsidering it. But the name stuck, since Jesse had already written it in metallic marker on his guitar case.
"The lineup became complete when the threesome spotted [[Nicholas Campbell]] hitchhiking along the side of the road in 1996, and the rest is history (including a five-hour wait for a tow truck when The Tank broke down a few yards later.)"

They are generally portrayed in a negative light - in their very first mention in "[[Road Worrier]]", Daria said the name sounded like a Doors tribute band and Jane laughed that they ''wish'' they were that good - and the few of their songs we get to hear are rubbish. Even ''Trent'' once said the songs in the second set were so lame, he'd leave the gig if he wasn't in the band ("[[Jane's Addition]]").
Line 29 ⟶ 35:
In "[[The Daria Database]]" (circa season 2), Jesse's younger brother [[Danny Moreno|Danny]] was the self-proclaimed "recording secretary" for their fan club - meaning he does all the writing for it - and was desperate to become their fifth member, thinking it would happen "next year". A year later, on the website's Fan Club section, Danny goes unmentioned.
"Reburb" says Jane used to be "director of band graphics until she got fed up with the whole spiral direction controversy and quit".
