12 years ago we dropped this joint called “Blow My High.” A song about how we’re all just trying to live our best lives but politics and corruption keep holding us back! We shot this video at the legendary Salmon Street Studios. We’ll be performing this song for the first time since reuniting, at our upcoming show at @theoffbeatpdx on April 3rd!

5 years ago I dropped an album called “Sixteen” that I released on my sons’ 16th birthday, only on a platform called Bandcamp. After I founded my nonprofit I had raised so much money through my personal Venmo and PayPal that they ended up banning me from using their services. Unfortunately, Bandcamp’s only payment option was through PayPal so I had to take the album offline. But I’ve been working with my boy @thedjzone to remaster and re-release the album this year.
Here is the intro song called Extra-Ordinary! Produced by my ace @5thsequence

This Queen got her wings one year ago this month. RIP Adrian Adel 🕊️🙏🏽
10 years ago we put out this music video for our single “Loose Limbs” off our album titled “Gumbo Grooves!” Shooting this video was some of the most fun we ever had as a band because all of the homies showed up for it. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this one! You can catch the full song on all streaming platforms.

We are absolutely ecstatic about this upcoming show with Speaker Minds - last time we saw them we were opening for them as MobStyle!
Now after over a decade of change, loss, evolution and growth, the wheel has spun and the new manifestation is here. Get ready for a powerful night of live music as we reunite with them on stage with our full band, The New Mistakes!
You won't want to miss this!

7 years ago we released a music video for our EP titled track “Wastelands.” We wrote this song about resiliency in a harsh capitalistic environment. The full EP is available on all streaming platforms!

The band got together and wrote our first new song in almost 7 years, and we can’t wait to share that with you in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy this little sample of our song “Break Laws” off our 2016 album titled Gumbo Grooves!!

If you’re looking to support our journey back into the music scene after our 5 year hiatus, here is a good way to do it! Get you a copy of our vinyl record titled “Leroy the First” with two sides of tracks from my solo projects and our live band albums. You can also purchase one of our “I Funk on the First Date” shirts, designed by the late great Adrian Adel who was much more than just a beautiful singer in our band, she was also a graphic design wiz!
Vinyl is going for $20 and we have 100 copies after selling the first 200! Tees for $25, and we have sizes Small - 3XL for shirts. If you want it mailed to you then shipping fees will be an addition. We’d really appreciate your support as we get back into the music world! Website is coming soon, but in the meantime just send me a DM if you’re interested.
