[edit] Freefonix's Premise
The series is set in the future. Force-field technology has been developed, graphics can operate without emitters, and the new cool (or 'wix') teenage trend is to be a freewaver.
Freewavers are all those who truly understand the popular music of the time, one which incorporates strains of pop, techno, rock and rap. It takes on something of an underground element (centring on The Bounce, a submarine dance/music club), due to ComaCo, the authoritarian corporation and evil organisation of the series which markets manufactured girlband music that Freewavers call 'plasticised prepsie'.
Freefonix is the name of the band of which the three protagonists, Freezbone, BB and Mo Start are the members. They were banded together by Sugar Che (Jamelia), a Sonic Lord who teaches them the power of the 13th Note. They battle against their rival band Mantyz, who operate under Mya De Zya (the head of ComaCo) and Vox (Sugar Che's evil Sonic Lord counterpart). The people in Mantyz are Hit, Kurtz (justin hawkin) and Lady Lux.
