A show with The Floozies is like a Lewis and Clark expedition through all things funky, except instead of Lewis and Clark you have brothers Matt and Mark Hill. Their “funk for aliens” will take you on a journey through classic funk, hip-hop, dub, disco, electronica, and afrobeat with hints of jazz and even film scores along the way. Since forming in January of 2008, this duo has gone from rocking local house parties to touring the country and performing alongside their musical heroes. And with nothing pre-recorded and nothing sampled, every show is a completely unique experience as they reach for new levels of improvisation.

A former member of LEAK, he now travels all across the USA and plays at festivals such as Electric Forest and collaborates with other upcoming DJ’s like Gramatik. His tracks include “Ill Type Moves”, “Rock n’ Roll” , “P B & J (Pretty Busted and Jank)” and a killer remix of Aerosmith’s “Dream On”.
