The Electric Gophers are a Calgary based Nu-Jazz and Electronic band. Paul and Oliver met about 10 years prior to the opening of this MySpace in a soccer tournament on a pirate ship. The losers would be shot out of a cannon and into a wall. The winners would be shot out of a cannon, much like the losers, but they would be shot onto a deserted island and have 6 bags of gold shot out to them afterwards.
Oliver and Paul's team won the tournament. Due to a lack of food, the duo had to eat the rest of their team to survive while making a boat. Using the bones of their former teammates and other naturally occurring resources on the island, they were able to create primitive instruments. This is the origins of the band, however, they definitely didn't get this good at that point.
During a solitary stroll, Paul was attacked by a Raptor. Turns out Chris Bosh is actually a native of small island in the Mid-Atlantic, who knew? Well, anyway, after Paul successfully defended himself, he was shot in the neck with a tranquilizer. While under the influence of the tranquilizer, he was met with an ultimatum - give up his womanizing, boozing, cocaine addicted ways in exchange for the ability to make beats. And dance. He seems to have made the right choice, since he is now the only white man who can actually dance. Oliver on the other hand, achieved his talents through hard work, dedication and lots of practice.
Once they made it back to civilization, they used the gold to purchase real instruments and started making real music.
