Bringin' the Riot Home

About Me

After a long stint in an all boys choir, Brandiff decided to branch out to chant. After several songs failed to reach the acapella top 40 he lapsed into a state of severe depression and locked himself in a 1983 Ford Grenada fasting for several days and then living off of m&m's he found in the seat cushions. It turned out the car belonged to one J H Fowler and after an intense bout of fist-to-cuffs they were found drunk and playing chess with checker pieces. This trend soon caught on in Floyd county and they used their fame to try to revive Brandiff's career in Chant forming an acapella duet. Sadly, they were ostracized by the Floyd chant scene due to a lack of mandolin and fiddle accompaniment. After advertising for bluegrass musicians, they settled for Dave, a little known entomologist, well known for his skills in pool. They hustled multiple frat guys and made enough money to pay for half of a nights consumption of alcohol and for some reason Eric picked up the rest of the tab. To date, Dave, Hart and Brandiff owe Eric lots of money. Unfortunately Eric owes money all over the place. As a result they formed a band so that people wouldn't fuck with them. Enter the Lee Street Riots
