The Detroit Grand Pubahs, aka Paris the Black Fu & Andy (Dr.
Toefinger) Toth, were brought together by the forces of slave
labor. Paris toiled for years as a snow cone operator at the
Detroit Zoo, where he met Andy, who was cleaning gorilla cages in
hopes of one day becoming a world-class zoo keeper.
3 months into their new-found friendship Andy expressed his desire to make music, only to find that Paris' feelings were mutual. After a short time, they both quit their jobs and found new ones that would enable them to have the time to develop both their friendship and musical partnership. Paris became a casino construction worker and Andy entered an internship under the noted Detroit proctologist Dr. Bootygrabber. They would meet after work to scheme musically, discuss their influences, and come up with a master plan. They also searched for a studio space large enough for making music, while at the same time allowing Toth to continue his newfound research and Paris to prepare for his childhood dream of becoming an expert cloner. One day while playing doctor in an abandoned schoolyard, Paris discovered an unused secret passage, whichhe promptly investigated. He explored for miles and miles until he came upon an old fallout shelter equipped with running water, electricity, full laboratory, an old 26' x 12' military Jumbotron monitor, 5 bedrooms, and both a cyrogenic storage unit & walk-in refrigerator. He and Andy move in immediately. Once they got settled, they combined their earnings, invested in some equipment (a blender, washer/dryer, lifetime subscription to Club magazine, and, most importantly, a keyboard) and became the under-city dwellers now known as the Detroit Grand Pubahs. After 6 months of hard work, they had come up with some inspiring material, but still no songs that would define their sound. Then one day Andy, who had by this time cultivated quite a sizeable hydroponically grown "herb" garden, was watching "Hunt for Red October" on the Jumbotron while enjoying the fruits of his labor. Inspiration struck when the large Russian sub turned into a delicious 50-foot long pepperoni, mushroom, wheatgrass and cilantro hoagie. Toth immediately summoned Paris, and the track "Sandwiches" was born. The Pubahs are now set to exit their underground lair and take on the world. "Sandwiches" has found its way onto almost every major A-list DJ Chart around the world, and has been named "Essential New Tune" on England's illustrious Radio 1. The band wowed audiences with their extremely visual live show at the Winter Music Conference, and they have been compared to Prince, Rick James, Old Dirty Bastard, Mr. Oizo, George Clinton and more by a press struggling to come to grips with their unique sound. Find out for yourself what all the fuss is about before they change things up and send us all on a new journey. |
