The Bungalow Boys, a popular University of Alabama band based out of the Sigma Epsilon fraternity, made a name for themselves showcasing their talent at the hottest bars across Tuscaloosa. From The Booth and Rhythm and Brews to World of Beer and The Red Shed, the band built a fanbase of students and locals looking for a good time.
Due to social pressures and band politics, however, the Bungalow Boys changed their name to Pryme Suspect, partially out of fear of being associated with the far right-wing republican group, the Boogaloo Boys.
The Boogaloo Boys are an anti-government extremist group that gained the attention of the media last summer during Black Lives Matter protests. According to USA Today, the group models itself after a 1980s breakdance movie where members wear Hawaiian shirts, carry weapons, and aim to “exploit unrest in order to start a second civil war.”
