Fun Lovin' Criminals

New York trio Fun Lovin' Criminals formed in 1993 and released their self-titled debut album in 1995. Signed to Capitol the following year, FLC gained an alternative radio hit with the single "Scooby Snacks" and played stateside dates as U2's opening act on their Popmart tour. FLC returned with 100% Colombian (their first for Virgin) 18 months later. "Love Unlimited" and "Korean Bodega" were red-hot hits across Europe, but FLC failed to gain critical acclaim in their native country. The Criminals landed on Sanctuary for Welcome to Poppy's, which appeared in September 2003, and they returned two years later with Livin' in the City. ~ John Bush & MacKenzie Wilson
