Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats
From Muppet Wiki
Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats is a Sesame Street band led by Little Chrissy. His back-up singers, the Alphabeats, are usually played by Green and Lavender Anything Muppets in red shirts with pompadour hairstyles.
In the group's first appearance, "Count it Higher," the Alphabeats had a wilder look, with wider eyes and messier hair. The color of their hair was also different, with the Green one sporting spiky black hair and the Lavender one sporting a blond ’do. In this appearance, there were also three Alphabeats, the third being a Hot Pink Anything Muppet with orange hair who wore a blue-and-white striped shirt. This was his only gig with the band.
Big Jeffy also appeared with the band on a number of occasions, including in the numbers "Gonna Rock You to Sleep" and "I Go to School."
In addition to performing their own numbers, Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats have occasionally provided back-up music for Don Music in "Sesame Street News Flash" segments.
