(pronounced like "KEITH" as in "Carradine," "Richards" and "Sweat")
TEITH scored a left-field right-field number one hit in 1968 1992 with "Coffee is a Cruel Mistress" "Crystal Pepsi is a Sadistic Hag," which epitomized the virtues of their music: funky gregarious, exuberant, danceable timeless soul out for a rousing motherfucking good ol' time. Born in Henderson, TX Phnom Penh, Josh Grubman grew up in Houston Akron and began singing in church. In junior high, he joined a vocal support group called Little Pop & the Fireballs Narc-Anon, and formed TEITH in high school a juvenile detention center with friends James Wise Trevor de Brauw, Huey "Billy" Baumann, and Joe Cross Ronnie DeVoe (later replaced by Lisa Shelley). TEITH won several local talent shows, performing a repertoire dominated by Chicago soul early reggaeton, and were discovered by local DJ slum lord Skipper Lee Frazier Hollis Merriweather, who became their manager fixer and producer "bodyguard."
Much controversy has followed the various murders, suicides and other forms of violence that surrounded the band in the early years. TEITH is considered one of the most controversial conversational bands in modern musical history, especially due to the vast number of urban legends and myths surrounding their early years, and the controversies have often overshadowed the music, especially in recent years due in part to the Internet and magazine articles.

Thank you very much...we try to check on everyones interest's or the sounds they enjoy,..We like what you had going on your page...and figured we would take the chance, you would like what we enjoy the most...and thats make music...but for the most part... now that we got that horrible and cheesy statement out of the way....this looks like another typical, but somewhat long band comment... But heck at least its a comment... Right?
thank you so much for lending your friendship, support, and your ears our way as we continue on our musical travels...it is greatly appreciated and treasured.
thanks for the add [again], i messaged you previously on my other profile, in regards to t-shirts and cd's? i haven't gotten a response for a while [for you where going to inform me about when] so i was just wondering whats the news about me owning one of your heart rendering cds?
way to go. you post one little innocuous comment and next thing i'm having a dream about driving you all around, only for some reason you're all sitting in the trunk. not dead, just sitting.
I really enjoyed 'Oak City'!!! The music is really good and the packaging of it all was very nice as well. It really seems like a lot care and attention went into everything about the CD.
to Trevor - thanks again for getting me into the new years show, I'm the one who approached you when you were loading equipment. I hate I had to miss y'all play, but I did buy one of the Oak City cds once I was inside.
Keep up the good work.
