  • Team Facelift is a American rap group based in New York and signed to Duck Down Records. The group was founded in 2004 and currently consists of its original members, three MC's Machine, The Fat Jew, Alden Fonda, and one producer, Tommy Mas. Their sound was described by the New York Post as "a cross between Barbara Streisand and The Wu-Tang Clan". They first gained national attention when headlining MTV's "52/52" campaign featuring artists during short commercial spots in-between programming. Team Facelift was the only group to appear that was unsigned. Team Facelift are known for their bizarre stage theatrics and antics, such as the use of pyrotechnics and live animals (particularly doves. ) The Fat Jew is famous for his on-stage nudity, often performing in nothing but a thong and construction boots. The band has also been widely discussed for their often unrealistic and exotic demands from club promoters and sponsors, including horses and chariots, bronze statues of themselves, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cold cuts. Their first album "Mixed Emotions" was released in December 2006 on their independent imprint, Facelift Records, and their newest project, currently untitled, will be released in the Fall of 2009 on Duck Down Records. In early May it was announced that the record will be executive produced by renowned remixer, producer and DJ, Junior Sanchez. In late 2008 they were featured on the single "Shake That Ass" on famed producer Armand Van Helden's "New York: a Mix Odyssey 2" album. Executive-Producers for the popular show, THE DAILY 10 on the E! Entertainment channel have selected Team Facelift to become the New York bureau of "The Daily 10", conducting 'man-on-the street, public opinion, and one-on-one interviews of the New York City entertainment scene, while adding their unique brand of color and humor to the segment. ' In the Fall of 2009, Team Facelift and Red Bull North America will partner together for "Band on the Run," a unique tour that will consist of surprise performances from Team Facelift at major Colleges & Universities in the North East and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US.
