Artist History
In 1958, Cerebral Laboratories (based in the Netherlands, a complex
devoted to the highest forms of science) discovered an inter-
dimensional riff in our own matter frame. After numerous studies and
tests, only television and radio waves could pass through the
dimensional "portal". In hopes of contacting an alter-lifeform between
1958-64 Cerebral Laboratories inundated the "portal" with all of
Earth's knowledge at that time, converting it into electromagnetic
waves. With no success and a lack of funding the project was shelved
and communications were cut. In 1994 though, the abandoned
equipment mysteriously engaged independently. With the scientists
unfamiliar with the laboratorical machinery, they frantically tried to
shut it down. But with a flash of light and a force that warped all
matter in the room in vertigo, a being emerged. This lifeform came to
be known as *Sparkplug*. An omnipotent conqueror from another
dimension, armed with a formula that would bring all to his
submission. This formula was an adaptation of surf music that has
incredible mind controlling power. With this power he could pursue his
dastardly deed: DOMINATION OF THE MAGNACOSMOS!! He decided to
take on more lifeforms to help him with his plan. It proved to be that
humans were too feeble to carry out the rigorous responsibilities of
universal domination. Many humans were deleted, either by accident
or intentionally. Rhythmical appropriation and time coordination was
the hardest spot to fill. Finally *Sparkplug*, with a vast amount of
knowledge in quantum mechanics and atomic physics, decided to
create an artificial animated being. Using a prime ingredient of yellow
die #5, known for hyperactivity, the concoction produced the lifeform
which has been appropriately named Yellow-5. This formulated
individual produces heavy sonic blasts from his echo kit that not only
keeps time structure but rattles the snapses of earthling people
allowing the melodic frequencies to fill the cortex. One human was
left in the infrastructure of the SumpPump monkeys. His function was
to provide low end frequencies to round out the hypnotic sound. But
in a freak accident his humanoid body was fragmented into subatomic
particles and his matter was transported to an unrecorded planet
where (coincidentally) Cerebral laboratories had been creating a race
of symbiotic lifeforms. His matter patterns then melded with the
"test-tube" aliens and began stages of symbiosis. After culminating
into full maturity *Sparkplug* went and retrieved the first symbiotic
fusion. His name came to be Subflux: Origin of the symbiotes,
Symbiote #1. With his function of blasting sub-sonic frequencies and
an infinite number of symbiotic personalities, of which he can call
upon anytime, he has proved to be the final aspect in the power trio
that you will soon call your masters. With a full arsenal of various
types of media and live performances their plans WILL come to
fruition. Now on their quest as Dominators of the Magnacosmos, be
prepared puny earth people, for the sonic thrashing that will be
exerted upon you. But we are really nice guys nonetheless.

Press Reviews
MP3.com artist reivews:'Great ideas and fresh sound' - Alfio, Happening'I felt good, so it must BE good' - Marija. PlatOs Halo'I don't particularly like instrumental music, but this is an exception (Kamikaze Plunge). I don't even surf and it makes me wanna go grab a board & hit the waves',- Allusion'I've never really given surf a listen before. You provide a superb introduction to it.' - Del, Sugarwood
Cleveland Scene Magazine (Review of DEBUT CD Release, "Destroy The Waves"):"...The band's latest, Destroy the Waves!, is a blend of Dick Dale's fretboard voodoo and a Man or Astro-Man?-esque infatuation with weird science....the burly, lunch-money-swiping "Tractor Beam" and knuckle-dusting "Electronic Formation of a Crouton" make the Monkeys' Russell Crowe-rivaling manliness evident....elsewhere, the burping bass and percolating electronics of "An Amphipod's Bioluminescence" makes it ideal for an episode of Dr. Who, while the sweltering, Reverend Horton Heat-indebted "Riptide" is perfect for a hot summer day spent lounging in the yard. Right next to the pink flamingos." |
