LMFAO
SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING
NZ RELEASE DATE: JUNE 20TH 2011
This year, the entire world is shuffling to LMFAO's world-wide #1 smash hit ‘Party Rock Anthem.’ So far, the unstoppable track from the Los Angeles-based duo has topped iTunes charts in seven countries, and spent 11 consecutive weeks atop the NZ top 40 singles charts. As further testament to the global love for the song, the vibrant music video passed twenty million views on Vevo in under two months. And LMFAO's ‘Party Rock Anthem’(featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock), is just the opening round of Redfoo and Sky Blu's forthcoming full-length album, Sorry For Party Rocking.
The duo is without question having fun in 2011, celebrating their successes by partying to the seriously infectious dance songs they have created, which prove as irresistible to radio as they do to DJs in clubs worldwide. "We make all kinds of records, and we're serious about what we do," says Sky Blu. According to Redfoo, the duo are more than dance/pop music creators..they are scientific spinsters of a carefully crafted soundtrack for a new generation of global party people. With LMFAO's debut and GRAMMY® nominated full length record, 2009's Party Rock, Redfoo showcased a new breed of music that now appeals to radio programmers worldwide. "We're music designers," Redfoo says.
No one can say LMFAO's success was accidental. Both men have been driven for years and passionate about music since their early teens. Prior to a set at Las Vegas' Surrender nightclub (Blu holds down a monthly DJ residency at the Wynn, while Redfoo is a monthly resident at Marquee Las Vegas inside the new Cosmopolitan), Sky said, "I'm a real DJ. But I'm also a rapper. I grew up listening to Tupac, Mos Def and Eminem."

To that end, Foo and Sky have created an entire record of rap-infused party rock anthems for their forthcoming Insterscope album, which will ignite dance floors from Sydney to Stockholm and all points between. From the driving, propulsive, acid-house-tinged hip-hop of ‘I'm Sexy And I Know It,’ to the sugar-soaked, synth-laden VIP anthem ‘Champagne Showers,’ LMFAO furthers the global wave of crossover club smashes with their unique twists on this forthcoming album, which is sure to please fans well into 2012.
The duo's hard work has rewarded music fans with exactly what they wanted-LMFAO's Party Rock boasted four hit singles ‘I'm In Miami Bitch,’ ‘Yes,’ ‘La La La,’ and ‘Shots,’ all of which sold over 4 million singles, and the duo was rewarded with a nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY® Awards.
The success of their debut only furthered the boys' drive to craft epic party anthems, and today in the studio process, the goal is nothing less than sonic domination in clubs and on the radio.
LMFAO is creating the soundtrack for that party with their music, they are dressing it with their "Party Rock" clothing line, and now they are taking it international with their tours and epic DJ sets. Sorry For Party Rocking promises to embody this ultimate party when it's released as LMFAO's next instalment of their global invitation to the world to "just have a good time."
