Imperial Teen

Imperial Teen performed "Yoo Hoo" live for KEXP listeners from Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop during SXSW way back in 2012: www.youtube.com -- "Imperial Teen got started in 1992 when Lynn Perko and Roddy Bottum decided to start a band. The band was made whole when local musicians Will Schwartz and Jone Stebbins joined; the band has stayed together since then....Bottum and Schwartz are also both gay males who’ve never been shy about speaking about their sexuality. Many of Imperial Teen’s songs have lyrics, sung by Bottum and Schwartz, about wearing lipstick and other typically feminine acts, some serious, and some silly. ": peraltacitizen.com

This song references the Shim Sham Club, a real venue in New Orleans!
