A multi-cultural pop-rap quartet in the tradition of the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys, 1000 Clowns comprised frontman Kevi, DJ Mr. Pao, and backing vocalists (and sisters) Anita and Michelle. Debuting in late 1997 with the single "Kitty Kat Max," the group issued the full-length Freelance Bubblehead the following summer. ~ Jason Ankeny
