I'll admit that I don't know a whole lot about this band. So, no cheeky asides, no non sequitur biographical ramblings, no in depth explorations of musical context. Basically, Champagne Champagne is a group of guys out of Seattle that play some hip hop infused with jaunty acoustic strumming. They're sometimes offhanded and languid like the Gorillaz and more often a whole thing of their own. They say that they got together to play "feel good music," and I'd say that's about as good a description as any. Shout outs to Molly Ringwald and Appalonia should give you the idea that this isn't posturing street-based rap - nary a bitch, a ho, or a nigga in sight - but something a little more East Coast, liquid, cerebral stuff.
