Kristine Flaherty grew up outside of Chicago, devouring her father's classic rock records and staying up late dancing to Parliament-Funkadelic in the living room. It was this same musical open-mindedness that would later spark her artistic development. She found her musical voice in college, fusing the eclectic power of the Bay Area hip hop scene with her own unique presence, inspired by strong, independent female artists ranging from Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill to Fiona Apple and Liz Phair.
On stage, K.Flay is a one-woman whirlwind: whether sheโs creating beats, singing, rapping or playing guitar, her wit and acerbic charm shine through. Her talents have led her to share the stage with artists including Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and 3OH!3, where she quickly won over audiences who hadnโt seen anything quite like her before. Further setting her apart from the pack, she serves as her own producer in the studio, methodically infusing her hip hop swagger with a dose of sonic exploration.
With one mixtape (the genre-hopping MASHed Potatoes) already available online, K.Flay is spending the rest of 2010 recording in San Francisco and touring with Passion Pit in October and 3oh!3 in November.
Frat Party
k.flay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Party with a Gemini, party with a Pisces
Party with a loser, party with a weirdo
Party with a punk kid, plugs in his earlobes
Party in a bathtub, party on my rooftop
Iโฒll stop when you stop
Party like twins do, synchronicity
Party with the old school cast of Felicity
Party with the Hurricanes, party with the Seminoles
Party with a stranger, party with a newborn
Topsiders, party with a shoehorn
Party with Obama, cha cha slide with your mama
Party with a point guard, party with a head coach
Party like a dick cause an asshole said so
We just wanna party
If you don't like it, like it then Iโฒm sorry
Party in my mouth, party in my t-shirt
Party with some whiskey, party with some reefer
Party like a banshee, party like a frat boy
Party til you're gonna make a bad choice
Party with a mission, party with a condom
Party like a monk, party like John Bonham
Party with a turtle
Party in a line, a square, a circle
Party with your hat on, party with your hat off
TJ Maxx party half off
Party with a Rabbi, party with a pastor
Party with a hot guy let him in the back door
Party all day, Stoli with ocean spray
Party like MacBeth, party like Hamlet
We wanna get fucked up god damnit
