Artist description
A musical style as unusual as the name. Every song has a different musical direction, lyrics that cover diverse and amusing topics, with song titles like"barf,""garbage dump,""virgin,""cellulite junkies,"and the list goes on. Gardy-Loo's music offers a little something for everyone. But the main intent for the audience to laugh and have a good time. Three members one on bass one on guitar one on drums all share the role of vocals many guests perform with gardy-loo. Very energetic and full of comedy |
