Mean. Poppa. Lean. Separately, these words mean very little, but together, they signify the raw energy of four brothers from different mothers. Funk, on a whole new level.
Here's the crew:
Christian Jennings Barnes - Front Boy Wonder.
C-Dogg - Guitar Prancing Hero.
Danny Bass - Balls Out Bassman.
John Grills - Hulk Drums

Mean Poppa Lean is a force of nature. The raw elements of the funk. The funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk...so help me funk. And when they bring it, you will know. First, forget what you think you know about how a young rock band put on a live show. Second, put on a lime green tuxedo and a brown paisley waistcoat. Thirdly, ignore that you're too cool to dance. Once the above boxes are ticked, go and experience MPL - when you do, you'll never go back to your old brand of funk.
