The Incredible Hook

Rising up from a groove scene that is congested and drowning in crunk rap hooks and dubstep drops comes The Incredible Hook. They ride the waves of discofunk and dance-rock in a space pirate vessel lashed together by 60s Brit-pop and swooning Motown soul. Formed in the year 20509, after the destruction of their home planet, Red 1337, by the evil Lord Establishment, The Incredible Hook boarded their galactic time traveling space vessel named Liberty and under the authority of the Intergalactic Soul Armada, set back to the year 2012 to save the future of music and the universe. This band of scallywags have been shaking the booties of crowds and channeling bombastic sexy singalongs in dance clubs and rock venues across the Midsouth all in the name of galaxy wide fun and peace. This space bandit collective swooped down upon the Memphis music scene with an arsenal of sonic weaponry and mesmerizing stage presence. Led by the vivacious and flirtatious 29,000 year old front man and guitarist, The Admiral Hook, the Hook trolls about the solar winds in search of the perfect host planet to bring back the funk. After his creation in 8491 B.C. by the space god Mercurowie, the Admiral was graced with the power to mesmerize all who laid eyes upon him and command them after they swear allegiance as hookers. As an Admiral in the Intergalactic Soul Armada, the Admiral Hook has sworn his life and afterlife to fighting Lord Establishment and bringing balance and the groove back to the universe. Rounding out the group is the phaser-slinging dance floor desperado simply known as His Swarthy First Mate (Synth/Vox), The Admiral first encountered the First Mate at the port planet of Kirnos at the Space Bar. After an argument lead to a laser duel, the First Mate and the Admiral shot at each other at the exact same moment and at the exact same trajectory and angle, causing the lasers to hit each other and creating a powerful sound vacuum that resulted in the first pleasurable notes since the outlawing of all such pleasurable sounds under Lord Establishments rule. They knew they must go forth and defend the right to audible pleasure and began recruiting for their noble cause. While searching for members, they came across the savagely suave skin-smashing and trap-clapping brute, Chief Keef Blacktooth (Drums/Percussion). Chief Keef is the last of the once mighty space tribe, the Aztincans. The Admiral and the First Mate spotted the Chief single handedly taking on over 9,000 of Lord Establishment’s battle droids on their scanners and swooped down to help, but the Chief had defeated every last robot by the time they landed. They knew they found their newest member. The latest edition was the ultra low frequency blasting and audio quaking galactic yacht enthusiast, Sir Dr. Elliott Edminworth XIII Jr. Esquire Phd. (Bass/iPad). After retiring from a vastly successful career as an intergalactic bounty hunter, Sir Edminworth settled into a quiet life. While piloting his 4321 parsec long space yacht, he was taken prisoner and held for ransom by Lord Establishment’s Imperial Navy. The Liberty was in search of fuel in the same sector and happened to make it past the Imperial blockade. Sir Edminworth saw the noble vessel outside his port window, and using blasting caps he had hid away, blew open his window and using the force of the blast, catapulted himself towards the Admiral’s vessel. Utterly impressed by the talent and daring of Sir Edminworth, the Admiral knew the merry band was now complete. These interplanetary funk-rapscallions have been invading and conquering various venues such as Minglewood, The New Daisy, Newby’s, Hi Tone, Senses and every other intergalactic neutral stage with hypno-ray intensity, driving the audiences into frenzies of inappropriate touching and impromptu variations of “The Hustle”. Their increasing infamy has also directed their adventuring to supernova-fueled concerts with galaxy wide artist such as The B-52s and Of Montreal. The Incredible Hook has made an impact on the local scene, but their work is far from done. The Intergalactic Soul Armada will only grant them the access codes to return to their own time after complete and utter saturation of planet Earth from the Hook and all it’s hooker followers. The red feather from the Xinus’azt orio bird of Red 1337 is the interplanetary symbol of Hookers. They unite under this banner and fight for the future of music and our Galaxy.
