The Impeachables

Tommy Lee Jefferson, Ben "Jammin" Franklin, and company had more than a little to do with the founding of the United States. But history has forgotten that they were also groundbreaking rockers, inciting rebellion with foot- stomping hits like "When in the Course (Of Human Events)" and "Give Me Liberty (Or Get Outa My Face)." They rocked all thirteen colonies with their Revolutionary Tour, and rattled the rafters again a few years later with the epic Brand New Nation Tour, before abruptly calling it quits at the height of their artistic and commercial success.

Now they're back together after a long hiatus, ready once again to challenge authority with pop hooks and political satire.

"We all agreed we had to do it," says Tommy. "The whole point we started out with [in the 1770s] is that people should be ruled by laws that represented the will of the people -- not by the whims of monarchs."

"We're sounding the alarms about this new King George," Ben adds. "He's going to try to undo everything we did in 1776, until the people decide to stand up and fight back."

The Impeachables are fighting back with their signature tune, the subtle- as-a-sledgehammer singalong "Impeachable"; with the scathingly critical "Pretzel Logic"; and with tongue-in-cheek satire in "The So-Called Law of Gravity."

Don't call these rebels our Founding Fathers -- call them a real "Patriot Act." Be sure to catch The Impeachables in 2006 on their New Revolutionary Tour.
