Michelle 'Big Red' King feels that this Mash is going to be a "Bacchanal Fever" while her colleague Cyd 'Linkin' Hooper sings "We need to link up for the Mashramani celebrations".

These two rising soca artistes are part of the Mischievous Guys band that recently launched its 11-track album entitled "Whatever". They are competing against each other in the Road March competition and their entries are the first two songs on the album.

Hooper, from the East Coast Demerara, is the daughter of the late Eddie Hooper who produced such pieces such as "Where are your friends now?", "Passing Memories" and "Sweetest Black Man". Hooper proudly states that her father passed down his talent. She had been part of the Mingles Sound Machine, the Sheriff Deputies and Rhythm Force but has found a home with the Mischievous Guys. "We work at least three days a week and I definitely love what I am doing." Her song "Linkin" is all about unity: "Is time people come together, we are living in a troubled country for a long time, we must come together". This is the first year Hooper has been in the Road March competition but she also had a hit last year with "Doctor Soca".

King is the daughter of actress Desiree Edghill and a very strong HIV/AIDS activist. She sang in Sunday school and her church, but she never took it seriously until one of her close friends persuaded her to join a band telling her that she had a good voice. She joined The EC Connection Band, then the Mingles Sound Machine, the Sheriff Deputies, Pete's Caribbean Fusion and finally the Mischievous Guys. Her song is all about breaking away on Mash Day and having fun. Last year she produced, "Wine It".

The Mischievous Guys performs at Le Meridien Pool Side, sometimes at Bloomingdale, Da Rock and many other places.

Kross Kolor Studios recorded the album.
