The Cast(inedible) in Order of Appearance(backwards) :

As the shortest member of the group, Eli Machina stands at 3'-6", but what he lacks in stature he makes up in belligerence. Don't cross his path! Eli's musical experiences go back to the early 80's when as part of the New Wave duo, Dua, he enjoyed success with their breakout single "The Thing is the Thing". As guitars came back into fashion, Eli decided to hang up his musical career and entered medical school. Upon graduating, he spent two years with Doctors Without Borders, first in Sri Lanka and later in Philadelphia. However, feeling that there were better uses of his time, he reached out to the future members of Bosola and they began jamming. The group almost didn't happen when Eli Machine suffered a freak accident as a result in his interest in 'subway gymastics'. He lost all the fingers of his right hand leaving him unable to pick the bass. Ever the maverick, Eli soon pioneered the technique "clubbing" where he bangs his hand against all the strings at once to create a more complex sound than traditional picking. This technique is often imitated, but never duplicated by his fingered peers.
When not 'getting loose with the boys', Eli can be found in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn where he makes his home. He can't wait for Target to open.

Dubbed Tickrangler, after a case of mistaken identity involving his stuffed mouse companion Hugo, the band's fifth member was once an apprentice lute player in the Ottoman court. He was close to mastering the five indifferential permutations of monotone harmonies under the tutelage of Professor Eric Lombus, when after a long night of carousing he woke up face down in a puddle of blood and a broken bottle of Olde English in his left and. He had slept through five centuries suspended in a dream with the wrong ending. The sun shined on half the world, while it rained on the other half and there was one rainbow too many. For the next five years Tickrangler traveled with a group of itinerant bricklayers, constructing everything from an outhouse on the moon to a blood donation center inside a volcano ... When doing renovation work on the bell tower of the church in Tartu, he was absorbed in troweling a layer of mortar close to the bells, when they started ringing at five o'clock, causing him to become partially deaf. That became a moment of revelation for Tickrangler as the sound of the bells simultaneously robbed him of his hearing and rekindled his desire to create music. Immediately he auditioned for an anonymous band looking for an intern/forensic coreographer ... and he joined the group that would become Bosola. Critics find Tickrangler's style dubious at best and agree that he is most likely nothing but a vacuous trend-setter.

Grandpa Scorpion was born in Tuva to a rabbi and an alcoholic ballerina. Due to local custom, his family was very poor, spending all of their money on cards for Father's Day. After he relocated to Compton, an accident on a freakishly cold morning would set him on an odd path. While darting across the street, a lime-green Pinto rammed him, hurtling him into the fetid, frozen moat surrounding YooHoo headquarters. He does not remember what happened during those 5 hours but when he awoke sometime later, he suffered from both progeria and synesthesia. One day his wheelchair smelled suspiciously like a drumset. He took this as a sign and got a birdcage for his tsetses. Yes, recovery would be difficult.

After a futile stint as a nano-cobbler, he finally found a specialist who could plug the leak in his aura. With a clear yet skewed mind, he attempted 1-900-LAMPREY, a line for deep sea fetishists. As fate would have it, one day the two members of Bosola: Tick and Ben, Grandpa and a sea anemone found themselves together on a chat line. The four decided to clean up their act and commit themselves to music. The anemone's mellotron turned out to be a logistical nightmare. Distraught, he lunged into a Chinatown eatery. The subsequent lip-smacking confirmed his fate.
