The Born Again Floozies: Bio
The Born Again Floozies
The Born Again Floozies
A voluptuously surreal performance: the rhythm section is two tap dancers and a tuba, the singer plays guitar the way most people play the piano.
Steve Albini described them as "Off the hook". PASTE Magazine chose the Floozies for the first track on their Dec and January CD samplers (dist. 225,000) and BBC's Radio 6 recently featured the Floozies.
"Marvelous stuff." -David Cowling, Americana UK; The Netherlands' Hanx Magazine gave them 3.5 out of 4 stars (and an elaborate review in dutch that we don't understand).
Their college radio campaign debuted on CMJ's Most Adds chart at #15 and is just getting into full swing.
But Triple R Records calls them "Fellini-esque songmongers". So, the Floozies are SONGMONGERS! Slingin' songs like so many dead fish...
Charlie Krone on the Slide Trombone - lead trombone, lead other stuff
Charlie Krone on the Slide Trombone wears a three-peice corduroy suit and plays the fish-- an invincible combination.
Amy Gilmore - Lead Tap Dancer #2, shouting, exuberance
Amy Gilmore aka "Freudian Slip Spice" or "F@*k Off Spice" tap dances on an oak slab with the grace and style of many things that are both stylish and graceful, like... a winchester rifle.
Nancy Moore - lead backing vocalist and cymbal smasher extrordinaire
Nancy Moore aka "Spice Rack" sings with charm of forty Shirley Temples and two Harvey Wallbangers. If done properly, no can defend.
Elizabeth Milliken - lead tap dancer, finger cymbalist, wood blocker
Elizabeth Milliken aka "Concrete Sequential Kenievel" taps on shoes on metal on three plys of solid oak on rubber coasters intended for furniture. But Concrete Sequential Kenievel is not furniture, no. She taps like a bird-- no, like two birds. Lovely, through and through.
Ben Vokits - lead tuba
Ben Vokits aka "Literal Spice" plays the Conn 21-J "Naked Lady" which is, in fact, a tuba. There is little about anyone on the face of this planet that could be more impressive than that.
Joey Welch - guitar, vocals, suitcase
Joey Welch aka "Random Abstract Kenievel" plays a beautiful Gibson ES-175 and sings like two birds. He enjoys many bands playing at once (preferably marching bands), warped records played at wrong speeds, and believes the funniest things in life are initially horrifically inconvenient.
