The lineup
Band bios
DJ Ryker started the band. It was so good that Funbot, Travis Kelce, and both members of Daft Punk (parody cameos) wanted in. Edit bios anytime in src/content/members/.
DJ Ryker
Founder · DJ · band starter · Turntables, imagination, snack logistics
“I started a band. Then the band got… crowded.”
DJ Ryker founded Tech Tones after deciding the living room needed a better soundtrack. He is the kid who started the band — captain of the vibe, mayor of the playlist, and the reason five famous (and one robotic) people somehow ended up on the roster. When rehearsal starts, Ryker starts it. When someone asks who is in charge, everyone points at Ryker and then pretends they meant to do that.
Funbot
Robot · also a DJ · Built-in speakers, blinking lights, dance protocols
“Beep. Dropping the beat. Beep.”
Funbot is a robot that is also a DJ, which is either very efficient or a conflict of interest. Funbot heard Tech Tones through a vent, rolled over, and requested membership with a polite series of LED flashes. Specialties include perfect tempo, terrible dad jokes in binary, and never needing a water break. Official status: wheeled, witty, and fully imaginary.
Travis Kelce
Professional football player · honorary hype man · Applause, touchdowns (offstage), supportive yelling
“I heard the band was good. I am here to confirm.”
Travis Kelce — yes, the professional football player — joined Tech Tones after (according to band legend) hearing one track through a stadium tunnel and deciding the roster needed more yardage. On this site he is a satirical cameo: big energy, kid-friendly hype, and zero actual NFL paperwork. His job in the band is mostly “cheer loudly and high-five Funbot,” which he does extremely well in our imaginations.
Guillaume Emmanuel "Guy-Manuel" de Homem-Christo
Daft Punk (parody cameo) · helmets optional · Synths, mysterious coolness, French robot chic
“We heard there was a good band. We brought helmets… just in case.”
Guy-Manuel (of Daft Punk fame, used here as affectionate parody) allegedly hopped on board because Tech Tones was “too good to ignore.” On this imaginary roster he provides glittery electronic wisdom, excellent sunglasses energy even without sunglasses, and the occasional reminder that robots can also be soft-spoken. Fully fictitious band membership. Extremely real sense of style.
Thomas Bangalter
Daft Punk (parody cameo) · basslines & big ideas · Synths, bass that sounds like tomorrow
“One more rehearsal. Then one more after that.”
Thomas Bangalter (also of Daft Punk, also a satirical guest star) joined for the same reason as everyone else: Ryker’s band was supposedly that good. He is in charge of making the living room feel like a tiny festival, inventing songs about snacks that somehow still slap, and agreeing with Guy-Manuel that Funbot is “family now.” Not a real signing. Very real commitment to the bit.
