About the Artist

In an ATL scene saturated with alternative hard rock bands and dirty south groups, 13 Stories stands apart with its smart, infectious and upbeat brand of pop music. With the rare lineup combination of two girls and two guys, and a sound that's been described as the B-52's groovin' to Prince at a Gwen Stefani pool party, the band has slowly and steadily been winning over audiences in clubs and bars around the Southeast since 2001. Determined to play live and often, 13 Stories is regularly booked playing original music in traditional “cover band slots�. 13 Stories performed at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Music Midtown in Atlanta in 2003, and has opened up shows for Collective Soul and The Gin Blossoms among others. Finding the right studio situation for the band proved to be challenging, with numerous false starts. After two years of writing, preproduction and polishing, the band hooked up with Atlanta producers Jeff Hodges and Don McCollister (Indigo Girls, B-52s, Sister Hazel), and 13 Stories was able to complete FunkyPopSexyHouseRap. FunkyPopSexyHouseRap is the debut full-length CD from Atlanta’s 13 Stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun guilty pleasure, March 31, 2010

13 Stories had a spot in a Mustang commercial with their song 'Beep! Beep!' and I was taken with their exuberant energy. "Funkypopsexyhouserap" is the album.
Their music is high energy -- sometimes frenzied --, fun, funky, catchy, and deceptively complex. The 'La Song' is a little risque but the album title tells ya what yer gettin'.
I have really enjoyed this album. Who needs coffee with a pick-me-up prize like this?

This B-52's punkier, sexier kid sister band. Fun antics and nothing but smiles. They're hot live, too !

Discovered this band after their Ford Commercials were played here in NC a few years ago. Picked it up off of their website and it has since become one of my all time favorite albums. One of the only albums that I can say I actually like every song on. Saw 13 Stories in Charlotte NC at Alley Cats last year - the band has energy, draws the crowd in and puts on a great show. They've already released a new single off of their website (Joy) and it's things are only getting better. Looking forward to their next release!
