The former graffiti crew from the Upper East and West sides of Manhattan, Team Facelift consists of a cleverly named trio that indulges its listeners with glam rap and equally clever lyrics. The group is known for their volatile dance beats and questionably insidious behavior on stage.

The minds behind Team Facelift, Big Bopper aka Teen Wolf or Machine, Alden F Fonda or simply Fonda and Fabrizio Bonaducce -- who is called Fat Jew, say their ultimate aim is "to do to rap what Elton John did to being gay." Team Facelift's self-released 2006 debut album, Mixed Emotions, was given a Parental Advisory sticker, but the band claims the message is all in good fun. PAID 2 RAGE, their new album, will be in stores in 2010.
