(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.

Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine
What makes people act the way they do?
Mrs. Gowanus, this bar will be forever ours
Why did you have to leave us so soon?
It couldn’t have been the right time
It couldn’t have been so soon
Mrs. Gowanus, the lines between us are so fine
What secrets do you hide?
What futures can you tell me?
Looking into the cup you hold
Mrs. Gowanus, are you really so old,
That you alone know,
When the truth becomes lies,
Through the passage of time?
Mrs. Gowanus, why are you singing to the stones?
Do they tell you what you need to know?
Our seats are so far away
Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine
What makes people act the way they do?
Mrs. Gowanus, are we really losing you?
Holy, holy crap...Brilliant!!! Just Brilliant. Hope you got a second to check us out and let us know what you think. Peace from Portland Oregon and TRP
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.
