'''Huckapoo''' was an American [[teen pop]] [[girl group]] formed in late 2003 by Brian Lukow, co-creator of teen pop boy band [[Dream Street]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Toy |first=Vivian S. |date=2004-08-29 |title=Reprising the Spice Girls |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/29/nyregion/reprising-the-spice-girls.html |access-date=2023-02-23 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The group comprises Brittney Segal ("Angel Sparks"), Brittany Lahm ("Twiggy Stardom"), Lindsay Nyman ("Joey Thunders"), [[Jordan Lane Price]] ("Groovy Tuesday"), and Brooke Mori ("PJ Bardot").
==History==
Having managed the boy band Dream Street prior, Lukow wanted to reprise Dream Street's success and marketability through a female lens. With young females dominating the fanbase of the teen pop zeitgeist at the time, Lukow molded Huckapoo's image to the [[Girl Power]] individuality of the [[Spice Girls]]. As a result, its group members each portray an [[Pseudonym|alias]].
Their aliases were characters from different social groups typically found on any high school campus.
*Brittney Segal: As '''Angel Sparks''', a biker.
*Brittany Lahm: As '''Twiggy Stardom''', a preppy cheerleader.
*Lindsay Nyman: As '''Joey Thunders''', a punk.
*Jordan Price: As '''Groovy Tuesday''', a flower child hippie.
*Brooke Mori: As '''P.J. Bardot''', a hip-hop princess.
While the group had recorded songs for live shows and promotion, they did not release an album. Instead, most of their recorded material have been featured on several [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] compilation albums including [[That's So Raven (soundtrack)|That's So Raven]]. Their song "Perfectly" is on the Disney original movie soundtrack, ''[[Pixel Perfect]]''. In April 2006, Segal left the group and the band continued to perform as a quartet. In the following year, their songs were featured in the film ''[[Spy School]]'', along with their own version of "[[Macho Man (song)|Macho Man]]". By 2008, the rest of the members went their separate ways.
