TREBEK explores a kaleidoscope of musical genres that breeds a sexy and

major influences may mostly be from a bygone era, but whose sound is so
fresh that we might just have to slap it! This explosive five-pieces
music will get you nodding your head and jumping around like a kid on
too many pixy stix ~ or, in the right situation, it will get you action
in the biblical sense."
