Okay, so here's what happened:
By the early winter of 1999 Zeus was bored, the scene on Mt. Olympus was a bit dry. Other than a few Gods playing lyres, there really wasn't much going on in terms of musical entertainment. The King of Gods and protector of strangers was sick of hearing the minstrels reciting the same old epics over and over again. Meanwhile on earth, a band of four mortals called Ice Cream Tower was hard at work making music (not unlike the same old epics being regurgitated back on Mt. Olympus). Zeus observed this activity with his ever-watchful eye and saw the potential in this group. Then one day Zeus threw a powerful bolt which, in one fell swoop, severed three of the mortals from their frontman and freed them to write and play the music that they had always wanted (but had to do so in such scandalous secrecy!). And thus Soul Monkey Sperm Tribe was born and begotten! On earth, the aforementioned thunder clap was met with an awestruck gasp by the band members. "Alas! Zeus has spoken!" exclaimed one of the mortals. And so Soul Monkey Sperm Tribe and their old frontman finally parted ways in an emotional farewell.
Recently, a lone minstrel who posesses a wealth of wisdom has taken a liking to the sweet sounds of Soul Monkey Sperm Tribe and has joined the ranks. Now the divine trio is a quartet!
