During the month of September, The Floozies and gang were smashing the Southeast with the Back On It Tour. The brotherly duo of producer/guitarist Matt Hill, and drummer Mark Hill, are a part of the Liberated label belonging to all-star producer/saxophone virtuoso GRiZ. They have gained popularity with all kinds of audiences and have spawned a large, loyal fan base. The energy these two bring to the stage is uncommon in the electronic music scene, partly because they have as much fun as the crowd—and they let it show.

The Floozies assembled a team of exceptionally funky characters to join them on tour as well. Guitarist Eric Mendelson, Tyler Dondero aka SuperNicer, and Mike Iannatto are the trio of masterminds known as EXMAG, who aren’t represented by Gramatik and his Lowtemp label for no reason. Along with support from electro-soul guitarist and producer Marvel Years, the Back On It Tour absolutely leveled the Orange Peel in Asheville one steamy evening in September.
