The Kleptos AKA 23 In The Pants comes out at you with fast tempo metal riffs, funk slap bass, latin grooves, chingky ska chords, horns, keys and reggae influences that you often find yourself imagining a different artist for every song they perform. Witty and intuitive, they hook every bystander into their realm of musical disaster. But for an in depth explanation of how they came to be, here's a little story that might amuse you.
Well a long long, long long, long time ago! Mother Mary, a "virgin", gave birth to a young lad named Jesus. Well it just so happened that Jesus was born on Christmas Day! So the "Three Wise Men", that's what they called frat boys back in the day, came along, got drunk off of holy wine and used baby Jesus as a football. Well this one "wise man" dropped baby Jesus on his poor little head! So years later he thought he was the "Son Of God!" And every one felt sorry for him cause, I mean , he thought he was the son of God! Eventually some Jews got pissed off and killed him! Thats where 23 in the pants came along! Hope you enjoy!
