Four Huminz consists of three humans and a crossdressing wookie from Inter Minor (of the constellation Thorentilenium 17). Since this is a closely guarded secret between members of the band, it was considered prudent to disguise themselves and their name by calling themselves "Four Huminz". They are all professional musicians based in St. John's, north Portland, Oregon.

Sandin Wilson claims to be Gino Vannelli's bass player. His home is decorated with pictures of rock stars that he has painstakingly glued pictures of himself into. Turns out he's a nice guy and not hiding anything sinister, which is a shame because we could use some freaky dark secret for publicity purposes. Sandin's buddies include the Yellowjackets, Level 42, Will Lee, Quarterflash, The Meters, Kerry Movassagh and Gino Vannelli (really, he wasn't lying). He lives with his beautiful wife Dawn and his world record breaking collection of stuffed teddybears.

Kerry Movassagh has been seen on television in almost every US state on the show "Cops", blind drunk on Tequila, after he got into a serious fight with Jaco Pastorius in Florida, in the 80's, over a guitar and a bag of jellybeans. Kerry was also indirectly involved with some of Boy George's troubles of the same decade. He's now under federal witness protection and wears a fake beard, posing as a session guitarist while also busking for grits at any late night Denny's. He's played with everyone from Shawn Lane to Gino Vannelli to Joey Porter to Brothers of the Baladi. Guitar vocals, saz, banjo, goiter and jaw harp.

Mark Giles is just along for the ride. Mark weaseled himself into the band claiming he knows Sting's accountant* and had done some personal services during a tour of the Caribbean for Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones*. He could also be found visiting Mick and Bianca Jagger's home in Nicaragua in the early seventies*. Chaining himself to a neighbors drumkit, he convinced the other band members that he also knew a little about web design and that he unwittingly replaced both Michael Shrieve and Graham Lear in another band*. Until someone better comes along, the band says he'll do. He has recorded albums with Oteil Burbridge*, Brothers of the Baladi* and John Mayer (an old school friend who shares the same name).

Kris Sjobring is probably best known for his work with deaf llamas in Ecuador. Actually we know very little about Kris, but he doesn't have a drug problem, seems to know where middle C is and smells much better than the drummer. He once framed a raccoon for opening a christmas present and carries at least three ferrets in an old overcoat that once belonged to Marty Feldman. If you have any more information about Kris, please let us know.
