Blood Sweat and Funk:
Coming together to unite in life liberty, and the pursuit of funk.
On the 9th day according to the funk-o-tological calendar, the highest priests of the funk, realizing the sinister jivations polluting the greater good of our cosmic atmosphere, planned an action of counterattack. So five beings were birthed.
Insemination began in the oldest, most ancient and prophetic of the funkstar birth canals. Much debate was given as to what the essence of each being would be. Balance needed to be brought back to the funk. So came Intergalactic Ian, blessed with the most instinctual of thumping power. Then came David birthed with the most fertile of the thumping power. Then came Josh, constructed with the most anitjive-enomical of the thumping power. Then Faith, anointed with the most blaring and commanding of the thump. Then emerged Sunny D, emerging with stank and swank of the thump and the power to elevate to higher funkportional heights.
The beings were bathed in the most celestial starlight radiated from the pyramids of the great St. Funkenstein and then left to marinade in the holy rivers of Mt. Funksylvania. Upon release from their process, they were unleashed unto the awaiting world, with the need to give it proper feed and the will to give it necessary fill. They landed in Vallejo, California but ALAS!!!
They were forced to forget their original mission for the Nation of Jivation Infestation had struck again and had seen the uprising of what would become the 2nd coming of the funk and distorted their original purposes.
These extra dimensional beings lived as regular earthlings until a chance meeting brought them together once again, to reclaim their god given right, to FUNK. With their weapons of choice: Josh the voodoo cadet , the voice of their funk with the strings and things to make your soul grow wings, dastardly daring David with the thump to move your rump, Intergalactic Ian, with the skins to groove and make your body move, Faith with the horn to reconnect to the funk that we have been sworn and Daniel, with the bone to inseminate and bring forth the throne . They seek to reclaim what jive has stolen. They aim to moisten the funk hole to prepare for the grandest entry of the planet earth to the realm of funk.
