LAUREN NAPIER: BECAUSE THAT'S ITS NAME >>>

Love You Long Time â€" admit that you chuckled â€" is bouncing into Tacoma for an all-ages show Tuesday at the Viaduct.  With a history of playing parties and house shows in the metropolis of Los Angeles, Love You Long Time brings the party to any venue they happen to grace with their presence.  With a self-described sound of “fresh, crazy, and poppin’,” according to the band’s leader, MC Oz, Love You Long Time is a combination of pop-rock and rap hooks that can hold their own with other genre-blending artists like Gym Class Heroes. With heavy ’80s influences, this band’s nostalgic beats are a welcome burst of déjà-vu. They are coming to bring their spandex and eye-shocking neon colors to the stage. And if you mention that you read this preview, MC Oz says he will “do a freestyle rap about you to your face!”  There’s no way you can resist that.
