"We're
music designers... If music is a way to
communicate with people, we're almost like
the scientists. Some people make software
applications. Drama movie writers write a
story that can make you cry. We're designing
something for use in the clubs for DJs and we
know exactly what we built it for." - Redfoo, LMFAO
TIMELINE
LMFAO consists of the duo
Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and SkyBlu (Skyler Gordy)
and formed in 2006 based in California. Redfoo, a
former day trader, is the son of Motown founder
Berry Gordy, and SkyBlu is Redfoo's half-nephew.
In 2008, LMFAO signed with Interscope Records and
continued working the club circuit. Also in 2008,
they released their first single "I'm In Miami Trick" which hit the
Billboard Hot 100 but didn't become a pop hit
until the following year. The duo's sound can be
described as hip-hop and rap influenced,
dance-oriented, party music - some have called it
simply 'party rock'. Redfoo has said of their
sound: "The goal of our music is to have
every sound to rock the crowd. It is like party
rock. Girls get crazier and people have more
fun."
June 12: LMFAO topped the UK
singles chart for 1 week helping out David Guetta, Chris Willis
and Fergie with "Gettin' Over You." The song also
topped the charts in France, Scotland, and
Slovakia.
February 15: SkyBlu reportedly got
into an altercation with presidential-wannabe
Mitt Romney on a flight to California. SkyBlu was
asked to leave the plane after refusing to put
his seat up and reportedly having a physical
confrontation with Romney. SkyBlu has reported
that it was Romney who became physical first when
he put a 'vulcan grip' on his neck from behind.
April 23: LMFAO topped the UK
singles chart for 4 weeks with "Party Rock Anthem." The song also
topped the charts in Australia (for 10 weeks),
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France,
Germany, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand (for 11
weeks), Slovakia, and Switzerland.
June 4: LMFAO topped the
Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart
for 19 weeks with "Party Rock Anthem."
June 21: LMFAO released Sorry
For Party Rocking (available for download at iTunes and Amazon-mp3). The LP hit the Top 20 in
Australia, Canada, France, and the UK. Entertainment
Weekly wasn't too kind with its review
describing the group's dance-pop focus
"...topped off by truly terrible rapping,
which often turns otherwise groan-inspiring
instrumentals into jumbled, maddening
filler." Rolling Stone described
the LP as "...brain-cell depleting
jams."
July 2: LMFAO topped the
Billboard Rap Digital Songs chart for 13 weeks
with "Party Rock Anthem."
July 9: LMFAO topped the
Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart for 5 weeks
with "Party Rock Anthem."
July 16: LMFAO topped the
Billboard Hot 100 chart for 6 weeks, Hot Digital
Songs chart for 6 weeks, and Digital Tracks chart
for 6 weeks with "Party Rock Anthem."
