Good Guys formed around the fateful year 2004, combining the unique powers of Boris Tilov (Guitar) and Felix Thundercat (voice antics).



Good Guys have since inducted a bass player (Gregory K. Smith), and a keyboard/trumpet player (Baron von Schlummberg).



The Good Guys sound adds the softest elements of jazz and lounge to the clamoring of thick rock and metal.



Good Guys have recorded 2 EPs (the last of which was mixed and mastered by Stewart Cararas for 7th Level Productions. [with production credits such as Pleasure Club, Drums & Tuba, Brian Wilson, and Juvenile])



Right in time for summer [sheen], Good Guys released their first full length album, The Social Engagement, with Mike Napolitano (Blind Melon, Galactic, Twilight Singers). The Social Engagement appears to be the most interesting and dynamic full length release, like, ever.



The Social Engagement also features guest musicians,



Mike Dillon (Polyphonic Spree, Ani DiFranco) on Timpani



and



Skerik (Claypool's Frog Brigade, Critter's Buggin') on Saxophone



Good Guys are a professional act packed with energy and the knack for a different sounding kind of 'rock and roll'.



Good Guys are gentle. We will help you find new muscles you never knew existed, if you trust us. And we are thorough. Very thorough.

What the kids are saying about Good Guys.!



.The crafty, high-spirited group Good Guys emerges with its first full-length release, The Social Engagement, 10 genre-defying tracks that crackle with experimental energy. The songs on The Social Engagement have plenty of thundering percussion and chugging guitar, filtered darkly through a martini glass — their hard-rock clamor meets the lushness of electronic loungecore, making for a deliciously weird hybrid, particularly on the saucy track "In The Dark," which is maybe the meanest, crunchiest cha-cha ever recorded.



Gambit Weekly



.While the Good Guys are certainly deep within an avant genre, they play it with a twist, blending jazzy lounge music with punk and metal into an incomparable style. Listeners will be impressed.



Where Y'at Magazine



.Their brand of weirdness is rare in New Orleans.



LiveNewOrleans.com



.Metal and lounge are strange bedfellows, but New Orleans' Good Guys make it work. Their songs are full of obscure twists and sudden mood changes, so the jazz-inspired opening of "Work Release" gives way to densely distorted guitars before shifting to a smooth piano breakdown. Countless bands have done that before. The Good Guys trick? They make it power pop.
