Fun Lovin Criminals

Much like G. Love and Special Sauce, the New York trio known as Fun Lovin’ Criminals hit the alternative airwaves with a blend of hip-hop beats, alternative style, and bluesy rhythms. The group was formed in 1993 by bassist Fast and drummer Steve, who had met in Syracuse while going to school; the pair formed a techno group, but later moved back to New York City, where they hooked up with vocalist/guitarist Huey. FLC played around the area, and released their self-titled debut album in 1995 on the Silver Spotlight label. Signed to Capitol the following year, the group gained an alternative radio hit with their single “Scooby Snacks,” from Come Find Yourself. 100% Colombian followed in 1999.
