Visit World Racketeering Squad on MySpace and YouTube.
Spawned from the twenty-year friendship of Reed Oliver and Jeff Coleman (aka Isaac Priestley), World Racketeering Squad came about when Reed jokingly suggested that someone should write "Tangled Up In Tubes" to make fun of Senator Ted Stevens and his quote about the internet being made of tubes - made infamous by the Daily Show. Jeff, grinned and got Reed to write it himself, spawning their first tune.
A few songs followed, but nothing truly gelled until Reed wrote a blues tune about his neighbor who made a spectacle of herself at one of his parties. Jeff turned it into the pop tune "Sylvia," and from then on the songs just started coming.
