First there was Mat (or funksoulgroove, as his birth name was). Born in a corn field because his mother was hungry at the time, he quickly adapted to the life outside the phunckwhoom. He learned to sing at the age of 3 and was quoting Jeeims Braown (brought to Tellus many years before under the name James Brown) at the age of 4. At the age of 5 his parents, two phunck merchants responsible for the psyckofunk import of total groove to the county of RetroFunk, decided that Mat was funky enough to join the other Funkmeisters on the Funk spreading mission of  The MOTHERSHIP. On it's trip to the Milky Way, he was taught the further teachings of F.U.N.K. and was knighted "Mat "Funkateer" Henry III" by Captain Funk Clinton. On arrival on Tellus  he rapidly mingled with the crowd. It was impossible to distinguish him from the others, except for his Funky grin when he ate a certain kind of cereal for breakfast. He became a "normal" pupil at English schools in the care of UFO-FUNK-believing foster parents. 

Dan (birth name: yaPhunkymodafuka) was born inside a refrigerator, as his mother was the victim of a FUNK.TV-television prank by a guy called Sherami Biiidle. Despite his cold start, he became a warm lover of the teachings of FUNK. He was, unlike Mat, not gifted with the art of singing, but was more involved in the art of smashing things to bits in a rhythmical way. At the age of 5 his mother gave him his first drum sticks. She regretted this at first, especially when she had to run for cover in order not to be rhythmically beaten to death. Dan's father solved the problem by buying him a drum kit to go with the sticks. Dan quickly saw the relation and began to rhythmisise the local neighbourhood at 149 dB. When Dan was 7, local authorities decided to send him on a rhythmkeeping mission to Tellus. News has arrived that Elvis Presley was doping away his rhythm and things needed to be done. He was taken on THE MOTHERSHIP and taught FUNKDrums by Tchaaad Semith (drummer of GreenColdSaltyOnions, at the time. The name of the band was not a huge success, so they changed it, but no one knows to what.) Dan was put into Tellus action in a cold country called Norway, supposedly because it has many mountains that would stop the sound reaching it's neighbours and creating a third world war. The decision of placing him on Iceland was abandoned due to the risk of volcanic activity that might be triggered by Dan's severely hard banging. Besides, Bjork was already stationed there and she felt like she could handle it alone. Dan was very hurt by this, so Bjork made it up to him by naming her son after him. He then became a student of Tellus science. 

Rob (birth name: jazzyoIlikeiiit) was born on the way down a bungeejump, as his mother was a daredevil. On the way down he was caught by a curious cat, who later was killed spying on mice. Due to this rather fast start in his life, Rob was quick at reaching an understanding of FUNK and was able to play the piano at 2, something that made his mother so proud she ordered a parachute jump to give birth of her next child. By the time Rob finished playing the 1 Million minute funkwaltz, the President of FUNK, FUNKATEER WONDER PHUNCK IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII had already decided to send him with THE MOTHERSHIP  to Tellus. His mission was to give them some Funky vibes to help them discover true love. On the way to Tellus he was taught more FUNKKeyboard magic by no other than The President's son, Stiivey (who became blind when Rob lured into looking at the side thrusters without funkspecs. a nasty thing to do, but apparently it was very funny at the time). He was positioned in England as well as Mat. There he kept a low profile due to his shy foster parents. 

Oli (birth name: weredekeystomiebeemer?) was born in the cockpit of an aeroplane equivalent to a Jumbo Jet, because his mother was busy saving everyone when the captain of the plane, Mr Unphunckdrunk lost consciousness after downing five litres of Phuckila without any lemon. She landed it safely on the same cornfield as Mat was born on and was later picked up by the trucker responsible for Rob's mom's bungee jump crane and then rushed off to hospital while being served a nice drink which was chilled in Dan's place of birth. All these coincidences had nothing to do with the fact that Oli became a Funky bassist. From his first days on F.U.N.K., Oli learned how to pull strings, big strings. At the age of  3 1/2 he received his first PublicPhunckNotion of Excellence Award, after playing the triple funky bass for three days straight on top of a balloon for og hydrogen and smoking a cigar. Needless to say, Oli was never like all the other kids on planet F.U.N.K. At the age of innocence (a relativistic term), he was knighted SIR WEREDEKEYSTOMIEBEEMER PHUNCK I and was sent to Tellus on the mission of telling them that it all lies in the deep part of things. The time on the MOTHERSHIP was a hard time for Oli, as they didn't allow any hydrogen gas in balloons on the ship. But he did learn the teachings of FUNKBASS by SIR BOOOOOOOOTSIE COWLINS II. He was positioned in Leeds, Yorkshire, UK, a little insignificant part of the country that wanted to be independent. Oli changed their mind through hours of Phunck Revelation and is as of today the biggest single achievement by any man on Tellus. Low profile was a hard thing for Oli, but he survived...

They met each other to form the FUUNKIEST BAND ALIVE under substancially mystical circumstances...
