LMFAO

LMFAO is a Grammy-nominated electro hop group from Los Angeles, California that consists of DJ/rappers Redfoo (Stefan Gordy) and Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy). Both artists are related to Berry Gordy—Redfoo is the son of the Motown Records founder and Sky Blu is his nephew.

The group's name comes from an Internet conversation that Sky Blu had with his grandmother.[1] LMFAO is currently signed to Interscope Records.[2] They have a single titled "I'm in Miami Bitch"[3] (clean version "I'm in Miami Trick") which peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] On July 1, 2008, LMFAO released Party Rock EP on the iTunes music store. Their full album Party Rock was released on July 7, 2009, containing 15 tracks.[5][6]

Their second single, "La La La", debuted at #62 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their third single "Shots" has currently peaked at 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. LMFAO also provided the opening theme to Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Jersey Shore.

LMFAO cancelled four scheduled performances last-minute at the internationally acclaimed Creamfields Music Festival 2010 in Australia, and instead opened for Black Eyed Peas on April 10, 2010 at the Tacoma Dome. Red Foo also sang Duet on the first Black Eyed Peas album, Behind The Front. The two will also be co-headlining The Bamboozle Roadshow 2010 between May and June 2010. Co-headlining with the two are All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, and Third Eye Blind. Along with numerous other supporting bands, including 3OH!3, Good Charlotte, Forever The Sickest Kids, Cartel, and Simple Plan.

LMFAO are set to release their second album in summer 2010, entitled Don't Judge Me.[7]

LMFAO has also been featured in many other songs, including a remix of Love Lockdown by Kanye West.
