A wise bartender once described them as "the bastard love child of Iris May Tango and Morning 40 Federation," their hip hop/funk/soul stylings infused with a cheap-beer-and-whiskey-tinged "We Don't Give a F*ck" party vibe like no other.
Adjectives don't begin to describe them, so they made their own: BALLS ON TOP.
Three of their six members grew up on the mean streets of Old Metairie, giving them instant street cred and a hard knock's knowledge of the THUG LIFE.
They bring the Party that Rawks ya Body, from clubs as diverse as Circle Bar to One Eyed Jacks and Tipitina's.
They sing about booze, loose women, and 8 bit nintendo because it's what they know best.
They believe set lists are evil and refuse to use them.
They love early 80's hip hop without any sense of irony, peppering their sets with beats and lyrics that would make even Kool Keith proud.
