(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.
