The Axis of Awesome: Difference between revisions

Take three Australian nerds: one singer, one singer pianist, and one rapper guitarist, and you get get the three parts needed to create a force to fight against the evils of the allied forces. This trio is known as The Axis of Awesome.

 

Jordan, Benny, and Lee, [[Fantastic Mr. Fox|one fat, one short, one lean,]] are a comedy trio with original songs, pop parodies, and hilarious live performances. Founded in 2006, they were primarily involved in improv theatre until they decided to try the same thing in music and thus the Axis was born.
