The father daughter duo Lenjes Robinson and Yamirah Gercke have been playing music together for a very long time. After Berklee College of Music Yamirah returned back to Berlin and they began the Project “Bad Ass Freaks”. Marimba and Guitar is a unique combination, which they wanted to explore musically. The naming of the band came to florition after the first recording session. The best cuts on the record are 'Spirits Entering', 'African Flower' and 'Reverend Crush' - written by Yamirah, like two other tunes on the record which are very unique. The title track 'Neighbors' was written by Lenjes and his friends in 1976. The neighbors in the house, they were living in, were raising hell, so the track was a reaction to the noise. The Band is filled with extraordinary people that are more than Friends.

“Neighbors” is ride with playful interactions between band members, featuring solos by both Gercke and Robinson as well as soprano saxophonist Su Terry.–BandWagon Magazine (2017)
