John Q*Be started making music during his High School years, futilely attempting to learn how to play as many Rush and Iron Maiden songs as possible on the guitar. Gradually, he became bored with such music, and discovered electronic music. He began writing electronic music while in college, and over a period of years collected a variety of analogue and digital synthesizers. He is involved in two Non-Q*bist projects: Metal/Electronic/Industrial hybrid group Ghidorah and dark electronic music project Anatta.
Jesse Q*Be knows how to play an A, E, and most of the notes in between. He spent his teenaged years raising a joyous caucophony for the Dark One with inspired and off-kilter interpretations of Distant Early Warning, Number of the Beast, and Paranoid, along with fellow axe-man, John Q*Be. After being exposed to the wiles of Academia, Jesse fell into the world of electronic music, often spending all night sessions cutting his teeth on the antiquated behemoths that populated the school's Electronic Music Lab. After a long romance with MIDI (for which he is still receiving treatment), Jesse has finally made peace with his inner resonant band-pass filter and accepted Time Q*bism as his true calling (in spite of vicious allegations that he was seen listening to Manowar).
James Q*Be is still upset that it's the 21st century and he has neither a flying car nor a jetpack. To console himself, he kills time endlessly replaying "Berzerk" on an Atari emulator and making synthesized covers of old '80s songs. His work with the TimeQ*bists represents his first full-fledged foray into electronica, and despite the nurturing influences of Jesse and John he still doesn't know what the hell "MIDI" stands for. For anyone keeping score, he is most certainly "down with the clown."
