Stick 'em Up Punk - It's the Fun Lovin' Criminals !

Fun Lovin' Criminals were formed in 1993 when Huey found himself behind the bar at New York's Limelight where he met Fast, who was working in the bowels of the club. Fast was already in a band at this point - he and FLC's first drummer Steve-O had formed a techno group. Meanwhile, Huey was spending a lot of time playing blues guitar and soon started writing tunes with Fast. Huey and Fast recruited Steve-O to drum, and the Fun Lovin' Criminals were formed. The three became roommates and ended up jamming together in their apartment and writing songs until they had enough material to convince the Limelight's manager to let them play a gig at the club.

Their sixth performance was seen by the head of A&R for EMI America who passed them a business card and asked them to give him a call. EMI had soon booked them into a studio for a two-week recording session. However, the band finished all their recording inside of five days and spent the rest of the studio time running up a huge alcohol and food bill and waiting for EMI to wake up to what was going on.

Two drummers and over ten years later and we have the Fun Lovin' Criminals: Huey , Fast and Frank ('The Rhythm Man' originally their drum tech, from Leicester).

The latest album Livin' In The City is available in stores and brings together a fusion of funk, hip-hop, blues and reggae styles the only way the FLC know how. They still mean business and business is still very cool.
