Makeout Party

Makeout Party doesn't possess the hard-hitting lyrics and gangster thump that often whet the palates of hip-hop lovers, but the group's candy-coated hopscotch beats won't leave your mouth dry. Those with more of a sweet tooth and an appetite for the lighthearted antics of Peaches and Avenue D will enjoy...

Makeout Party doesn't possess the hard-hitting lyrics and gangster thump that often whet the palates of hip-hop lovers, but the group's candy-coated hopscotch beats won't leave your mouth dry. Those with more of a sweet tooth and an appetite for the lighthearted antics of Peaches and Avenue D will enjoy chewing on Makeout Party's bubblegum music. The hip-hop outfit's nonsensical rhymes and booming bass are packaged with an attitude that screams hipsters gone wild. Rappers Fatty and Tiger Beat toss lyrics back and forth while Mish and No!ze Machine drop keyboard beats and back-up vocals. Expect to see the quirky collective in a small dive rather than a ghetto-fabulous club; their fans are more likely to sport checkered Vans than Timberlands. Tracks like "I Love the '80s/Early '90s" encapsulate the retro b-boy mashed with neo-indie feel that the quartet exudes through its peculiar presence. Makeout Party is everything its namesake should be: fun, dancey, conducive to kissing, and refreshingly youthful.
