Note: the band name is written as "Sweet Gene and the Risky Fixin's" and not as "Sweet Gene and the Risky Fixins" because the lack of the letter g at the end of "fixin'" indicates that it is verbally abbreviated, and therefore has an apostrophe after the letter n to indicate it as such. It does not indicate a possessive.
Roles[]
Melba Dill plays the drums, Steven Rootbeer is on bass, and Gene plays both the piano and the electric guitar. They are all singers, but Gene is usually the lead singer, while Melba and Steven provide background vocals.
History[]
Formation and Biography[]
Gene, Melba Dill, and Steven Rootbeer met in the early 1990s while they all attended nursing school. Instead of pursuing nursing school, they decided to create their rock-and-roll band. The Risky Fixin's have won 487 Grammys and once stopped the assassination of the hot dog President. At the height of their popularity, they became so good that the Beatles quit making music, and instead opened a pizza parlor in Cleveland (confirmed by a note seen in "Believe Me Maizey" reading "This is better than any album we could ever write. Quitting the biz. U rule. Love, the Beatles"). Melba Dill was secretly in love with Steven Rootbeer at the time, but fell out of love when he and Gene blew their band's money on wine and trampolines. After leaving the band, Melba moved to the Central Park Pond, and Steven Rootbeer opened a bar along an old dirt road in Texas.
Reformation and Death[]
Melba Dill, Steven Rootbeer, and Gene reformed the Fixin's for the purpose of playing at Gene's sister, Gebra's, wedding. Melba Dill and Steven Rootbeer were revealed to be holograms created by Pam, and were killed by the volcano. Gene escaped to the planet Tomat-0 with Maizey and Mike Soup on the Starship Minestrone. Gene later died from injuries given to him from Pam (accidentally) and the Dark Master (purposely).
Songs[]
Existence[]
The exact truth or nature of the Fixin's is up for debate, considering Gene is from the future and Melba and Steve are revealed to be fabrications for Pam's evil scheme. However, a song of theirs is played on Earth Radio while the Dark Master was ending the world, and Pam herself mentions their lyrics being engraved in the moon, despite them ostensibly being her own (fairly recent) invention.
