The Lore

PREMISE
Funk is a substance.

Bottled, weaponized, scarce in the dead zones. D'YEA and crew hunt it across the galaxy.

THE VESSEL
I get my funk from a jar.

The Bassstar — a lowrider that is also a spaceship. The crew's hero object, logo, and engine.

THE KOAN
Life is a phase in phases.

The cosmic philosophy under the party. You don't have to solve the riddle — D'YEA sings on.
