 QRO returns to Brooklyn, to shine a light on the ever up-and-coming - and serious favorite - the one and only Harlem Shakes.

Name: Harlem Shakes

Associated act(s): Arms

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY

Members: Lexy Benaim, Todd Goldstein, Brent Katz, Jose Soegaard, Kendrick Strauch

Albums: Burning Birthdays EP (2007)

Has toured with: Busdriver, Deerhoof, Ladyhawk, The Subjects, Tapes 'n Tapes, Tokyo Police Club, White Rabbits

If the band was an animal, they'd be: the funkiest chicken that's ever crossed the road

Or if they were a food, they'd be: the bootleg liquor that kept the rent parties of the Roaring Twenties going
