Band Members: Patrick McCunney & Dave Clayton
Influences: Our influences span from the 40's to the present day. They share certain traits, such as originality and tenacity in their respective music movements. Their music makes your ass shake, and your soul feel allright.
Sounds Like: It sounds like Curtis Mayfield meets Biz Markie, they pick up Stevie Wonder and go cruising for ladies. They kick game to Lyn Collins, Gladys Knight, and Lucious Jackson, and head to the disco. Lonnie Lyston Smith is on the decks, with rhythmic backing by Tito Puente, and Donald Byrd playing trumpet over top. All of a sudden, Outkast bum-rushes the discoteck, and A Tribe Called Quest holds back the bouncers while Big Youth toasts the dj booth takeover. Ed Rush & Optical look on and say to themselves "oi! it sounds hot when you're passionate about the music you make".
