Bimbo Squad

About Me

What is there to say? Officially formed in 2008 around Trout Poutt's strangely shameless musical preferences, a shared love of iced coffee beverages and silly dancing, The Bimbo Squad intend to shatter your ideals of alphabetized cd collections and closed minded itunes shopping.
The Bimbo Squad welcome you to their world of the ridiculous; no more fighting your feet when they urge you to dance, regardless of whether it's to the Sugababes, The Egg or Conway and Loretta. And please, don't take yourself so seriously; it's only music.
About Trout Poutt:
Fake hair, fake tan, fake nails, fake smile, Trout Poutt enjoys all things fake and plastic-y. She also likes mash-ups, dogs, international travel and science.
Favorite Starbucks: Light Espresso Frappuccino, shot of caramel.
Favorite cocktail: The Social Apple Crumble/Teenage Kicks.
About Dark Pony:
Favours dirty techno above any other music. Likes to feign shock at outlandish schemes but secretly loves all things wild. Bad-ass New Yorker.
Favorite Starbucks: Medium skinny latte.
Favorite Cocktail: Any featuring champagne.
About the Electric Mexican:
There are none that can rival her inventive dance moves and general Mexican-ness. Can often be found practising her fiercest poses and "smiling with her eyes" just in case Miss Tyra ever stops by.
Favorite Starbucks: Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino.
Favorite Cocktail: Cosmopolitan, anywhere so long as it's done properly.
About Frisbot:
Half robot, half frisbee aficionado: our resident boy and math genius. Frisbot has a most excellent collection of hats and the required appreciation for silliness.
Favorite non-Starbucks: Banana milkshake.
The Bimbo Squad are always looking for new dj's to join the quest for the ridiculous. If you like any, some or all of the artists listed in our Influences section then please get in touch. Note: Girls and Boys are both welcome, so long as you're not overly serious/a moron.
