The Humble Bio of Captain Ishmael and the Sound Avengers

After killing, eating and curing the remainder of meat from that damned whale, Captain Ishmael was in need of a new adventure- he picked space. The crystal engine within his ship burned with the special coals he had found in the Bermuda Triangle, allowing the ship to move at a speed that would make a pussy out of John Wayne. This speed allowed the ship to defy gravity completely, and so when the ocean curved, Ishmael’s ship jettisoned into the air… and then beyond Earth’s atmosphere.


Ishmael’s ship, “The Humiston-Scoular” continued to move at warp speed through space, slowed only by a black hole. “Step off, you dirty black hole!” growled Ishmael. (To this day, Captain Ishmael is the only human capable of breathing or audibly saying anything in space.) The black hole wrestled the purple and silver ship, but “The Humiston-Scoular” was determined, like it had a mind of its own, and ripped away from the black hole. The force was so great it actually ripped five musicians from the other side of the space-time continuum into our dimension, where they landed in Ishmael’s ship.


Convinced they are still in their own dimension, and appalled by the music of present day earth, they took up the instruments closest to their own with the intent to bring back the noise of their homeland. Not only have friends from the other side been able to join them onstage, their music has been known to put the souls of people from their dimension into the reciprocating bodies in our dimension. Should this happen to you, you are welcome to join them onstage to play or cheer and dance more than ever. But do not attack them, for Captain Ishmael keeps them safe in all their endeavors.


They are here to Avenge the Sound.
