What do "Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, Chuck Norris, The Little Prince" have in common?

They're all awesome dancers. And they all serve as wellsprings of inspiration for Krisp, a four-member "indie/dance/chillwave/dance-rock" band -- Andres Ledesma, Jason Mavila, Alex Lopez, and Charlie Woods -- that's been bringing whimsical party tuneage to the 305 scene since early 2011.

Tonight, the quartet will be throwing a release party at Churchill's Pub for its new, limited-edition, 400-copy seven-inch "Will You Tell Me"/"Captain Hook" single on Sweat Records' in-house label, Sutro.

So we here at Crossfade chatted up the Krisp crew about nomenclature, genre tags, and fantasy live music experiences.
