G and T-Bone, two motorcycle riding legends of funk and groove They mix annoyingly catchy tunes with saucy loops and tasty beats, dripping with cheese.
This wall of sound of funk bass loops, epic lead guitar and tight fat drums with vocal harmonies singing fun tongue in cheek lyrics which make you smile as you get on down.
