Subversive Chicago pop/rock band with heavy elements of funk, r&b, jazz, sci fi, and certain bands that the kids like to call “yacht rock”. If the cruel shoes fit, well….. Ahoy Paloy!

After years of heavy prog and jazz fusion, longtime musical collaborators Jerry King and Dave Sistanich wanted to be in a rock and pop band and play songs again, with horns and vocals and catchy, thoughtful lyrics and stuff. This is their modern take on the jazz, funk, and soul influenced pop bands (and one in particular, ahem…) of the late 70s and early 80s that were on the radio when they were kids. That is to say, it’s Yacht Rock, only with balls. After joining forces with local bass player to the stars and third musical partner John Lauler, they embarked on two plus years of writing and recording with some of the best players the Chicago music scene lending their talents to the record, all under the guidance of producer extraordinaire Ellis Clark.  A powerhouse band put together to play and sing this material live (including members of the Giving Trio, Time and the New Romans, Poi Dog Pondering, Carla Prather Group, Ellis Clark and the Big Parade, and Marbin), the Cosmic Playboys continue to roam the galaxy looking to blow unsuspecting minds and shake eager behinds coast to coast, in their hometown of Chicago, IL.

Simply happy music served FRESH off the streets of Chicago, IL.
