Huckapoo was a United States-based teen pop female ensemble created in late 2003 by Brian Lukow, who also co-founded the teen boy band Dream Street. The lineup consisted of Brittney Segal ("Angel Sparks"), Brittany Lahm ("Twiggy Stardom"), Lindsay Nyman ("Joey Thunders"), Jordan Price ("Groovy Tuesday"), and Brooke Mori ("PJ Bardot").
History
Following his experience managing Dream Street, Lukow sought to duplicate that achievement by forming a girl group. He focused on the thriving teen female pop audience and developed Huckapoo’s concept around the Girl Power ethos made famous by the Spice Girls. Each member was assigned a unique high school archetype: Segal as the biker, Lahm as the preppy cheerleader, Nyman representing punk style, Price embodying the flower child hippie, and Mori portraying the hip-hop princess.
While Huckapoo produced tracks for performances and promotional purposes, they never launched a full-length album. Their songs were featured on various Disney compilation albums, such as the That's So Raven soundtrack, with "Perfectly" included on the soundtrack for the Disney original film Pixel Perfect. After Segal’s departure in April 2006, the group proceeded as a four-piece. In 2007, their music appeared in the movie Spy School, which included their rendition of "Macho Man". By 2008, the group had dissolved.
