About Me

It was a quiet summer's morning in Rive, a small town in France, when the four boys of the B4K simultaneously breathed air into their tiny lungs for the first time. In a miracle of physics, out of the dusty floor of a busy paper mill by the name of Blanchet, Fréres and Kleber's, the fourtron of young bandeons climbed into the hazy light of the dawn. Isolated from the urban world, they grew to full size, unaffected by caffeine and uncooked squid. It was the year 2000. Mankind had not nearly reached the desolation predicted in sci-fi movies of the sixties but was headed that way for sure, and at the turn of the millennium a fiery meteor struck their mill, destroying what they once called home. With tears streaming down their faces, the four brave orphans sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. Halfway across the ocean they came in contact with a group of enchanted mermaids who bestowed upon them golden instruments, and told them to give the gift of song to all those less fortunate, and upon reaching the Americas the four set off to fulfill their duty to the mermaids and avenge the death of their fathers. Under the name B4K, they united to reverse the negative trend of mankind and to save inchworms everywhere.Vactron live: More live videos available on Youtube if you feel like searching for them.
