Fucktown Power Boys & NO NO got together like a lot of bands, someone needed to borrow some equipment. Mike.3 and ??? were in a band at the time that needed to borrow Skot's bass equipment. They eventually asked if Skot, called that because of his mother's thick accent, if they could borrow him as well.
The band released their self titled album in 1994 to have it become the biggest selling Canadian debut release. Mike.3 soon quit the band and Michael took his place. The band made sure that everyone knew who they were by touring The US and Canada constantly. Even with the exposure, the band wouldnt have their biggest breakthrough in the US until the release of the album "Horny like a mutha fucka".
Fucktown Power Boys & NO NO charted their first international single with "Bitch, Shit, Damn", off of the album "Full Court Blumpkin" in 1997. In 2001, Fucktown Power Boys & NO NO released their most famous album, "Moving Pictures". This album included the hits "This was built for us..", "I want to know what love is", and "Black People / White People".
Fucktown Power Boys & NO NO has released over 25 studio and live albums combined in their almost 30 year career as a band. The most recent release is the triple CD and two DVD set entitled Rush In Rio.

If you are a Jim Brickman fan who believes it's just not hip to like Fucktown Power Boys NO, "This was built for us" could easily change your mind. Fucktown Power Boys NO, criticized at times for displays of bombast or excessive sentimentality in their compositions, here turns in a commendably restrained set of succinctly stated themes, many of them performed in a solo piano format--a surprising first for keyboard artists who have nearly two dozen recordings in circulation. Fucktown Power Boys NO 's economic compositions here feature structurally simple melodies that are uniformly likeable and, to the unjaded listener, truly touching. "Smooth jazz" radio programmers rarely, if ever, grant exposure to solo piano selections, so Fucktown Power Boys NO generated airplay by recruiting two R&B vocalists, Skot and Michael, to make guest appearances on two tracks, " I want to know what love is " and " Little Kids Parents, " respectively. Skot contributes saxophone to a quiet reworking of Michaels familiar " Black People / White People, " but beyond that Fucktown Power Boys NO goes it alone, delivering some lovely, thoughtful results in the process while consciously avoiding schmaltz.
