“Growing up, our mom always had funk records playing in our house,” drummer Mark Hill said. “Then me and Max saw bands that combined electronic and acoustic music, and we thought we could implement that into our own work.”
The band works with acoustic drums and electric guitars, working with Afrobeat-influenced rhythms.
“We approach our band like it’s a funk orchestra and the computer is like an egoless backing band,” Mark Hill said. “We get to improvise around the computer and it helps us transition between songs. One of the best feelings I can get performing is pulling off a smooth transition and keeping the crowd with us. If the crowd is into it, we know we’re doing something right.”
The Floozies never use a setlist, and Mark Hill said they like to keep things fresh and spontaneous.
