5 hombres cutting spare in The Red Room, making funk/psych/blues/party/pop!
- - 993 BCE: - - The cosmic musical shaman Maximus Gumbus rests his sonic wings on Planet Earth. Loving the rich tapestry of sounds of its various peeps, he plants the essence of Gumbo in their bloodlines and scatters them across the continents. Should music ever falter, their ancestors shall meet up and bust out.
- - LATE 2003: - - Lenk and Lando have their first jam and begin writing songs. The dormant spirits of Gumbo awaken. Musical good times ensue.
- - IN-BETWEEN: - - Songs written, members tried and tested. Lenk and Lando stay strong in the search… Muzz, Lenny and finally, Bernie, join the fold.
- - EARLY 2007: - - The 5 piece is born. Equipped with ideas and enthusiasm, Magnum Gumbo Detonator finally takes shape… 3000 years after Maximus Gumbus booted off to an interplanetary jamfest.
- - EARLY 2008: - - Like Police Academy, a group full of bright stars, all with their own unique musical destiny. Gumbo's brethren amicably go their separate ways, but not before playing one last show and enjoying every last second of it...
- - The End?
