TMB is short for The Mookie Brothers. It may sound stupid, but if you're a huge Spike Lee fan as I am, it is the perfect name. In the 1980 film "Do the Right Thing, Mookie, played by Spike Lee, is the pizza delivery boy who was always experiencing new things about his neighborhood and life. So I thought what the hell, why don't we name our band The Mookie Brothers as we were always experiencing something new. After a year or so people started mixing up the name with The Monkey Brothers and shit like that, so eventually we changed our name to TMB to avoid any further misunderstanding.

The Mookie Brothers | Layer 2

TMB was formed in 1995 on an island in the archipelago on the Swedish West Coast. We were just kids growing tired of seeing, band after band and tune after tune, getting more and more commercialized. Everything had started to sound the same. We decided to use my brother's old synthesizer, and make up some new beats that we liked and sounded different. To be honest we weren't all that good in the beginning, I'm not saying we are now, but back then we really sucked. It wasn't until we read in some magazine that if you use a midi-interface you could connect the synthesizer to your computer, and program your own music. Our music began to sound a tad better, so we continued. The music you are able to download here is a product of TMB and is protected by copyright law.
