1 Collen Chandler aka Mayor of WtU -- Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Atlantean Techno-Priest and Conductor/Referee
THE SECRETS OF THE MITOCHONDRIA unfurl majestically in the mind of our founder and referee COLLEN CHANDLER, descendant of the Atlantean HOUSE OF SNAPSTRING. Born in the mythical land of Portsmouth, Collen is not only a talented singer-songwriter-guitarist, but also a xHAPLOID (prn Zap-loid) -- that is, he holds a Haplogroup-X genetic marker, proof of Atlantean descent. Since 2005 he has been experiencing the surfacing of genetic memories from his Atlantean FOREFATHERS -- including highly advanced TECHNOLOGICAL and SPIRITUAL knowledge. Collen Chandler has learned that in order to make the most of these memories he must enter a trance-like state, by reciting Pi to one thousand places under his breath. In this state, COLLEN can also play guitar with such ferocity that he creates a rift in the fabric of space and time, collapsing super-strings with the vibrations from ADAMANTIUM guitar strings. || Snapstring first became aware of the CORPORATON MACHINE MIND when he was kidnapped by their agents in 2005. These darkling agents of the CORPORATI (prn. Cor-por-a-tie) sought to obtain the secrets of his genetic memory for themselves. Although Snapstring was able to escape from the AREA 51 genetics centre with the help of JAMES BLOW and the FU'UUNK'EM, he has remained in the malign sights of the Corporaton Horde since. BUT -- he regrets not this state of affairs, for it has spurred him into action against the HIDDEN MASTERS of the world. His involvement in the COSMIC STRUGGLE has brought him into direct and personal contact with the forces of FUNK and UNFUNK; and as an Atlantean he is in high demand by both sides. As one of many re-emergent Atlantean abiltiies, SNAPSTRING is able to 'QUANTUM BUMP' anywhere in time and space by exploiting his power over the SUPERSTRING and their vibrations -- although he is unable to venture any further back than a period of around ten thousand years into Earth's history (a result of the fall of ATLANTIS and the energistic fall-out that followed). This has however provided an ample timeframe from which to slowly but surely appoint a band of ZODIAC WARRIORS, Champions of the Cosmic Light Fantastic; and to verse them in the highest of the esoteric arts and Magicks. After these periods of musical, psychic and endurance based training, he has now started to unleash their Funky powers on the Universe.

2 James "Blow" Blow -- Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Keys, Subwave Vibration Field Tectonics
JAMES "BLOW" BLOW was born in Grimsby, and sent at the age of six years old to study the ways of HARMORHYTHMIC RESONANCE and the utilisation of the FUNKNASTY jazz vibes of the COSMOS. He was priveleged to study this art utilising brass instruments, under the tutelage of advanced 7th Level Master JES GREW. MANY were the years that passed while JAMES studied these skills, learning the FRUITS of Jes Grew's experience and mastery of the ART. BLOW proved to be particularly adept in META-TONAL CHROMATICS, the process by which frequencies of tonal vibration on either trumpet or flugelhorn, in the correct sequence and rhythms, allows manipulation of the nature of REALITY itself. This includes, but is not limited to, interstellar transmission of matter via consciousness (see 'Free your Mind and your Ass will Follow'), and the manifestation of the legendary ORBS OF THE FU-UNN-K'EM em within the corporeal Earth's dimensional frequencies. THE MASTER Jew Grew had taught James all he knew by the time BLOW reached maturity; and Jes Grew then passed onto the Eighth Level of Funknasty, while BLOW took a five year sabbatical where he explored the extent of his hard-won POWERS. During this time he resided at various locations within the galaxy, including the STAR CITY OF ISHWAT; and OFTENTIMES did he explore the dimension of time, and such was the building scale of his funknasty potential that he was able to enjoy the tremendous pleasure of meeting HIMSELF -- without creating an irresolvable paradox. One consequence of this meeting was that LOW became HARMONISED with the magical quantum system of DUALITY, and now shares his pineal gland with a tiny manifest representation of himself known as Oop, a KRUMULLATED QUANTITE. This relationship allows James intermittent access to the GREAT GALACTIC SONG (a sort of cosmic psychic internet). Most of the time he uses it to check the football results. It was access to THE SONG that alerted BLOW to the plight of Earth-bound xHaploid SNAPSTRING, who had been kidnapped by the CORPORATI and imprisoned at Area 51. Having seen many of the atrocities committed by the CORPORATI, Blow resolved to free Snapstring and ally himself with the forces of the Cosmic Light Fantastic. Utilising his powers of harmorhythmic resonance, he rescued Snapstring -- and the two men began their long mission to assemble the ZODIAC.

3 Matt Mak aka Mofo the Mook -- Bass, Quantum Throwback, Minister of Propaganda, Absurdity
MANY WERE THE PEOPLES OF MOOK -- the ancient land of the Mofo Erecti, counterpart to Atlantis, and whose culture was to seed SUMERIA, ETHOPIA and KEMET (Egypt) at the SECOND DAWN of CIVILISATION. The Mofo Erecti, men and women of the genus MOFO ERECTUS, were an off-shoot of HOMO SAPIENS that had turned their understanding and exploitation of the elemental power of FUNK into a sort of occult-technological religion. This energy powered not only their MITOCHONDRALUS FUNBODIES and OVERBEARING MAGGOTMINDS, but also their advanced technology. PEDALO-powered space ships and (it is rumoured) time machines made out of wardrobes and Christmas lights are just the tip of this Mook-Tech iceberg. The culture of MOOK was shattered and apparently destroyed along with ATLANTIS in 7640 BC when a comet struck the Earth and created a massive global DELUGE. OUR OWN Mofo The Mook is a fuzzlipped Moocher and hapless, impossible 'survivor' of that OLD TIME before the impact. The last Mofo Erectus known to live on Earth, Mofo exists only because of a PARADOX and the observer effect on subatomic particles (cf SHROEDINGER) -- observed at probability factor of 1.65 trillion to 1 at the heart of a paradox created during the Last Big Cosmic Funk-off of 2012, MOFO was thus required to exist, and so DID -- and was RETROCAUSALLY manifested onto the timeline. An OUTRAGED causuality manifested the Mook as a genetic throwback, nurturing stray fragments of Mofo Erectus DNA here and there in the hooman genepool through the ten thousand years following the loss of MOOK; and ensuring these fragments would come together at the right time to generate MOFO, and fufil the terms of the paradox. No one is entirely certain what the Mook is for, as he was essentially born out of collapsing waveforms and quantum-level reality fields cancelling one another out. Although a Mofo Erectus, he has none of the technological knowledge or supernatural powers perfected by the culture of original and proud Mofo Erecti. To try and find more about the people of MOOK, and help his hapless colleague find out more about his own kind, Snapstring is pioneering a faster-than-light communication system (from resurfacing Atlantean knowledge) to allow Mofo to contact Gilese 581c, now thought to be home to the Mofo Erecti that escaped the cataclysm of 7640 BC. BLOW had offered to travel to the planet using his funknasty subwave field exploitation, but it appeared Gilese 581c is protected by a HENDRIX FIELD (energistic FONK barrier). Mofo used to LURK around the door of the band's rehearsal rooms eating cheese and trying to bum smokes. We took pity on him and allowed him to come in and grope wildly at a bass with his hairy hands. It TRANSPIRED that despite his shortfalls, he possesses an instinctive awareness of FUNK and an irrepressible outpouring of Funknasty Fonktoplasm from his specially evolvedStankOrgan -- a biological equivalent of a Mu-Tron located some near the inside of his anus. (ADDENDUM: It appears that at some point in his personal future, Mofo will battle against the forces of UNFUNK in a series of pre-historic adventures (cf Mofo the Mook and the Evil Dinosaur-Hoomen of Ancient China).

4 Emma "Growling Eyes" Boulter aka The Golden Child -- Unstoppable Sax Machine, Flute, Vocals, Homunculus, Kemetologist
AEONS AGO there lived a species of BEING so advanced in spirit and mind that hooman-kind could scarcely imagine... They lived in the tentative DAWN of CONSCIOUSNESS, alone amongst all the stars and dimensions of creation. They sought to KNOW, and KNOWLEDGE became their religion. QUICKLY they realised that even their minds, as powerful as they were, could not perceive even a tenth of all there was to know about reality. AND SO -- in PURSUIT of this end they engineered a mind capable of perceiving ALL KNOWLEDGE; a computer built out of energy and gravity itself, an energistic homunculus, a 'fixed point in space and time' that intersected with our perceivable dimensions of space as a glowing amber light. And they named this the GROWLING EYE. For approximately 12.2 million years the humunculus processed the hidden raw data encoded in the deep structures of NATURE itself. Long after the PLEIADEANS themselves had ascended to the Eigth Level of FUNK and left our dimension, the Eye continued to work at its task. And this PROCESS culminated in nothing short of true and almost god-like sentience for the GROWLING EYE of the PLEIADIANS; and along with it came a knowledge of the REALITY WAR -- the conflict between parallel timelines, between HUMANITY and the CORPORATI, between the FUNK and UNFUNK, between LIGHT and DARKNESS. The EYE saw ALL -- from the saw the annihilation of Old Kemet and the end of the SECOND DAWN of civilisation by nuclear weapons in 5000 BC, and the first ascendance of the HIDDEN ONES (the Masters of the Corporati); to the fall of the dimension-riding star city of ISHWAT in the year 3879 AD, and the subsequent destruction of virtually all the positive timelines by the CORPORATI. The Eye took ACTION; with KNOWLEDGE comes POWER -- and the Eye held such knowledge it was able to pluck the GREAT SEAL OF KEMET out of time and hide it in a pocket of time suspended exactly one half-second in the future. This created a new opportunity to prevent the loss of ISHWAT, and defeat the Corporati. To capatilise on the opportunity, the Eye then decided to take its next step -- to take human form on Earth. The FORM was chosen: a human female, born in 1987 so that she would reach the creative maturity at the right time to incorporate into the WtU ZODIAC OF FUNK, agency of cosmic light and champions of funknastyness. THUS was EMMA "GROWLING EYES" BOULTER 'born' - destined to become one-half of the UNSTOPPABLE Sax Machine, a division of the BRASS CORPUS of Wtu... a double-headed Hydra of Saxular Healing and Feminine Wisdom. MEANWHILE -- Emma's memories of her true existence as the GROWLING EYE OF THE PLEIADES are suppressed -- FIREWALLED until the day the Great Seal is needed - the day that the cavity under the SPHIX is opened and the Great Pyramid of Giza erupts like a giant, fizzing, leaking BATTERY. These memories are held compressed and fire-walled in her mind until the approach of the first SWINGING HOOK of the Great Stank Cosmic Funk Off Jam of 2012.

Michelle "SHEEBA" Taylor aka The Human Sphix aka God Queen of The Cats -- Unstoppable Sax Machine, Clarinet, Vocals, Geneered Hooman
POWERFUL are the spirts of the Earth and Stars; and plentiful also are these gods and loas that share the cosmos with us. It was the mysteries of the Sphinx that led Snapstring to to seek an audience with the cat deity, SHEEBA -- energistic spirit of the feline genetic strain. His intention was to gain acess to the SECRET COMPLEX of tunnels, survival shelters and laboratories hidden beneath the ancient monument at Giza. Without the technology or sufficient occult ability to commune with Sheeba in her own 11th-Dimensional realm, he decided to utilise re-emergent genetic memories - and high technology originally liberated from those un-Funky gold-diggers, 'the Annunaki' - to create a geneered human with a soul matrix capable of hosting Sheeba's spirit for prolonged periods of time -- without burning to a CRISP!! And so, part human and part cat, the HUMAN SPHINX was grown in a lab. || Michelle Taylor was chosen to undergo the genetic modification. Michelle was selected as an ideal candidate following a detailed search of the internet, and Myspace in particular, for female musicians. The human 'host' had to be female, as the double-X chromosonal structure is more receptive genetic xenotransplantation; and she had to be a musician, as any god spirit requires sufficient creative potential to exist in their host in order to manifest. || As a student in the art of funknastyjazzsciences, Michelle was eager to take part in this historic undertaking. Now, having been reborn as the HUMAN SPHIX, she provides WtU with Janis Joplin-esque vocals, clarinet and sax. She is one half of the Unstoppable Sax Machine, a band-within-a-band and the feminine counterbalance within the WHEEL OF FUNK. She is also capable - being the HUMAN SPHINX - of hosting the spirit of SHEEBA for up to eight hours at any one time; and the god queen has been able to assist WtU in their work to unlock the hermetic seals on the access shaft to the ancient survival complex beneath the Sphinx. || Sheeba herself has also become enthralled by the saxophone as a musical instrument; and OFTENTIMES Michelle/Sheeba can be seen playing to a mounting army of cats. A PROPHECY of TREACHER issued by the eccentric Yorkshireman before his journey to walk the Earth fortells a time when WtU will be threatened with utter DESTRUCTION by the forces of the Corporati... and saved only by an army 1000000 black-and-white dancing cats. || Since the procedure Michelle can now be seen to glow visibly in an unknown colour when under UV lighting. She is also the medicinal centrepiece of the band.

Phil "Beats" Dolan aka Dolly The Hip-Hop Sheep -- Drums, Human Beatbox, Kazoo, Dare-devil exploits, Tomb-raiding
ADVENTURE AND EXCITEMENT! These drove Wrexhonian-Druidic Phil "Mr Beats" Dolan to explore both the mysteries and the physical ruins of the ancient civilisations of the world. Born in 1921 he and rose to world-wide prominence as an adventuring, maverick archaeologist adventurer, being INSPIRED and INFORMED in his work by the notebook of Eigteenth Century historian and proto-archaeologist Doctor Eustace Call, He HIT the front page of every newspaper in the world in 1944 when he re-discovered the LEGENDARY Pool Hall of King Solomon after only five minutes of searching. BEATS was able to recover several priceless artefacts from the site, and was most pleased to recovered Solomon's very own drum kit; for as well as being an archaelogist he was also an DRUMMER. This drum kit would prove to have OCCULT-TECHNOLOGICAL properities, including a psychic imprint left by Solomon himself which translates itself upon whoever is playing it. It became clear that these forces, agencies of the CORPORATON MACHINE MIND, were most fearful of the discovery of this site. Mere hours after removing the drum kit and a few other preliminary items, Beats heard that the whole complex had been destroyed by the Nazis on the orders of their wealthy Corporati backers, including an American industrialist and a sub-group of the British Royal Society.examined further. HAPPILY the one item they feared most, a stone tablet at the site containing an ancient musical score with many parts, was among the few finds Beats had been able to preserve. BEATS' subsequent fame came with a cost: these SECRETS of this tablet, which he spent many sleeplessness poring over and analysing, it to unlock its secrets. were of such significance to the Corporati that he was hunted by assassins for the next three years. PURSUED across the Earth, he spent his last moments in his own time TRAPPED in a burning hotel surrounded by assassins, including MCSHREDDER the IMMORTAL; it was in this DESPERATE condition that he plucked a kazoo from his hip-pocket and played one part of the score -- and so was he RESCUED by the ONE, for the ancient pattern connected him with the WtU collective of cosmic light fantastic in the Earth year 2008 AD. The ancients of both Funk and Hip-Hop (the Ascended 50 of Mook) had surely smiled upon him! Having RECOVERED Solomon's drum-kit after nearly six decades in storage, Beats is capable of using it not only to underpin the funknasty rhythms of the Zodiac Hive, but also of venting excesses of energy trapped within the Earth's atmosphere and ley-energy field. Such VITAL processes must be achieved by playing the drums with such unique BAAAD-ASS-NESS that it regularly makes the 900 negatively balanced Nephilim Watcher-Spies do a back-flip and yelp “Spare my unfunky self, Lord of Funk, who is forgiving and merciful!”

7 Michael "McShredder" McKenzie aka Moses -- Lead Guitar, Noise, Planetary Realignment, Geneered Hooman
ETERNAL LIFE is a dream that has haunted human consciousness for as long as it has been manifested upon the Earth; but few who have unlocked the secrets of Immortality would proclaim it as a true blessing. TIME erodes all but love and FUNK and consciousness; to witness the unyielding assault of causality on those around you can be too much for a human mind to take. Such is the CURSE of the 450 Hoomen v2.0 created by the Atlanteans over 10,000 years ago. FOR -- they live STILL, UNABLE to die! Too late did the honourable, if reckless, Atlanteans realise the burden that Immortality would impose upon their creations. Unable to destroy them (as much by ethics as the fruits of their own science), the Atlanteans implanted each v2.0 with a tiny biochip that would erase their memories and create a new psychological identity every 90 years (thus creating an illusion of a limited lifespan and helping to maintain some semblance of sanity). MCSHREDDER is one such being, and has spent ten millennia leading many 'lives', each entirely new, being 'reborn' again and again... and again! He is also, by happy coincidence, a guitar-shredding maestro. One constant on his long path has been an indestructible electric guitar forged in an Atlantean fuzzfurnace and powered by chronotons. He was known in 'Ancient' Sumeria (long after the fall of Atlantis) as the 'Demon Lord of the Electric Guitar'. He also lived for a time as king of SKARA BRAE. DARKLY did the Corporati conspire when they tricked McShredder into joining their ranks. SEIZING upon him at the moment his biochip triggered and wiped his memories, they DECEIVED him and POISONED his mind; for they desired his POWERS and his IMMORTALITY for their own. And so McShredder became their agent, a heartless assassin and merciless killer. IT WAS THUS that the WtU Zodiac first encountered him -- as an assassin named Michael "Clamps" McKenzie, sent forward in time from 1945 at a rate of one second per second in pursuit of of Mr Beats by Sir Henry Hallett Dale of the Royal Society. Being Immortal, McShredder was able to do this comfortably at a rate of one second per second. LIBERATION came that day; for as a descendant of the Atlanteans, SNAPSTRING was able to harmonise his mind with McShredders and so overcome the brainwashing done by the Corporaton Machine Mind. Snapstring also realised he was able to restore all ten millennia of McShredder's lost memories. Against the advice of BLOW, who suggested it was too risky, Snapstring did indeed UNLOCK McShredder's mind -- and was proved justified. FOR the restoration of all his lost lives did NOT drive McShredder insane, but instead STRONGER. McShredder became a PHUZZZLORD, capable of utilising all his experience and wisdom to add further funknasty energies to the Zodiac Funk of WtU. MCSHREDDER hopes to be able to find and help the other 449 Immortals out there -- wherever they are!

8 Sam "Sambone" Johnson aka The Bone -- Trombone, Funkentelechenist, Shaman
THE MULTIVERSE is a big place; very big - and in it we may expect to find any number of potential worlds. Like the Tree of Life, the Tree of Time is forever branching -- as consciousness and potential seeks more and more complex ways and forms in which to express itself. The moment we live in now is the SEED for any number of possible futures; and it is from one of these futures that the 8th member of the Wtu Zodiac has come. ENTER: SAMBONE -- a TechnoShamanic Skankolgist from one of these potential futures; one of the better ones -- on where the Corporaton Machine Mind has been defeated and the Masters exiled, and where a unified humanity has created a wordly paradise utilising rediscovered Funkentelechic awareness, geometric technologies of stellar alignment and the understanding of the Law of The One. But all is not perfect here; the peaceful people of Sambone's world are terrorised by the Corporati of many alternate timelines where humanity has been DEFEATED not LIBERATED, from alternative worlds where all human FUNK has been crushed; from these terrible places come Corporaton footsoldiers, travelling across the dimensional barriers. REVERED amongst the people of his native time as a High Priest of the Funknasty, as well as a Seer, Sambone nevertheless felt the need to LEAVE and find a way to stop the incursions of the Corporaton footsoldiers. His STUDIES led him to the conclusion that there was a way to reconcile all potential divergent realities from the period 2012 to his present – with the potential to thereby end the ongoing war with the Corporati. BUT -- achieve this he knew he needed to add an additional layer to the legendary group of entities known in his time as the Un-Beholdable but Renowned Ancient Champions of the Cosmic Light Fantastic – aka WtU. His CALCULATIONS and DREAMS alike told him that by adding a bass element to the ZodiacFunk brass section, and through the alignment of the band's on-stage positions with key ley lines and magnetic fields generated by Gaia (aka Bad Momma Earth), the FUNKNASTY potential of the whole band would be enhanced; and precisely by a figure of 3.14159265. AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK Sambone successfully channelled himself back along the quantum superstrings aka The Mesh (cf "Mofo's Salviac Vision of 2006"), and locked onto a TimeRift created by Snapstring and centred in 2008, by praying to the divinty of the fourth WtU album, released in 2012 and universally considered to be the GREATEST album ever recorded. His thoughts became merged with the Many-In-One-On-The-One WtU hivemindset and he materialised in the SEED of his own time, our PRESENT. A TRIUMPH then -- but in this life most triumphs come with a cost. And for SAMBONE the cost was that, having been exposured to the Time Winds and polarised Dark Matter on his journey through the MESH, he has become highly radioactive and a danger to the public at large; thus he is forced to spend much of his time in a specially built, lead-lined capsule he refers to as 'The Shed'. SAMBONE is able to channel various field frequencies of energy and process the individual electromagnetic fields utilising his mighty trombone as a cosmic antennae.

9 Chris "Cleetis" Roberts -- Blues Man, Zombie
EXPLORATION and discovery - of both the worlds without and the worlds within - are how we learn the wisdom we need to create ourselves in the image of our fullest potetial. SUCH was the motivation behind Snapstring, Beats and Sambone's exploration of the ancient Devo survival shelter deep beneath the Grand Canyon. BUT this endeavour also proved in time to be a vital step in the battle against the Corporaton Machine Mind, and its hidden Masters. FOR -- in those dark and dusty catacombes our intrepid trio did STUMBLE upon a Lost Prophecy of the Zodiac MindFunk -- a clue scratched by an ancient hand into plexiglass FLOOR PANELS that would lead toward the fulfilment of the Zodiac, and the ninth House within the funknasty chart. A MESSAGE FROM ACROSS THE MILLENNIA that stated in explicit terms that a rhythmic counter-element was required within the musical machinations of the Wtu. Snapstring saw this as an opportunity to conduct an experiment with enhanced PSI-BERNETICS -- the combination of cybenetic science with the occult-technological ressurection of the dead. THE DEAD CAN COME BACK... For some time the collective field had been haunted by the spirit of Chris "Cleetis" Roberts, a hillbilly from 1950s Tennesse who had defied all expectations and stereotypes by becoming a blus guitar master. He remained unrecognised for his abilities during his time on the physical plane due to the hostility he faced from his peers for his love of the Blues; and it was because of his REGRET that he not passed on into the Light; and it was because of his DESIRE to return he was trapped the shadow dimensions of P-Space, known by some as Purgatory. NOW! - Snapstring was to provide him with the chance to come back! Before leaving the United States, Snapstring and Sambone visited Tennesse and secretly exhumed the body of Cleetis in the dead of night. With it safely returned to the UK, Snapstring put his Psi-bernetic theories into practice. The CADAVER was repaired like an old motorbike, filled with cybernetic replacement organs and synthetic tissues, and infused with NANITES to repair cellular damage and maintain cohesion. AND within only 48 hours the body's new machine heart was beating and its blood (provided by each of the other 8 Zodiaci) was pumping through its veins. BUT -- the brain remained dead, and had to be replaced. A psionic processor was installed in its place, with a transceiver unit capable to accessing and decoding the electromagnetic field of Cleetis' spirit form within P-Space. Connected to the cybernetic infrastructure of the cadavre. AND IT IS THIS that has allowed Cleetis to return to the physical world; but not to life. THE PROPHECY has proven to be valid; for with the addition of CLEETIS the funkentelechic potentiality of the band has grown measurably by a factor of 12. This has already allowed us a great and honourable victory against the Corporaton Machine Mind by closing down approximately TWENTY potential futures where it had completely overwhelmed and consumed humanity. SAMBONE was naturally very pleased; this would make a massive difference in the number of interdimensional footsoldiers attacking his own potential timeline from across the barriers between realities.
