G.P.W.F.L.Y is a group of talented musicians specializing in a club-rousing mix of hip-hop, soul and rock, the self-deprecatingly named Grand Prize Winners from Last Year are anything but old news. Members K Slaughter, Believe, Platipus Jones and Whiteshoes Blue mix traditional guitar/bass/drums with toy xylophones and the occasional trumpet or trombone, shifting from new wave to rap to fist-pumping rock. Your head will bob to the beat, but the brain inside won’t know what to expect next.
“This band sounds to me like the product of an illicit affair between Morris Day and Betty Davis with a slight touch of dementia…”- Jamaal Muhammad Bin Yusef; (Radio Personality)
“This music reminds me of cocaine.” – Joshua Jacobs (Recording Artist)
“Our sound is similar to nothing. When you see us perform, you are truly witnessing a musical trainwreck.” — Believe
“Our songs sound like rock and roll….the real kind before Elvis started doing it.” — Whiteshoes Blue
