Bumblebeez 81 is a family business from Australia, siblings Chris Colonna and Pia Colonna (who also goes by Queen ViLa) building a racket out of whatever was lying around. Their stuff is a splice job, hip-hop beats and rock guitars cut up and pasted back together with the noise left in, and it sounds like a bedroom where the cassette deck never stops.
White Printz, their 2002 EP, carried "Pony Ride", a scrappy, grinning collage of a track that wears its homemade seams proudly. They later trimmed the name to the Bumblebeez, and their first full-length album, Prince Umberto & The Sister of Ill, didn't arrive until 2007.
