[from Arizona] this band exudes exactly the sort of smirking
depravity and darkness that I like, the MySpace monologue that describes his
upbringing and disposition simultaneously makes me roll my eyes and delights
me, lots of homoeroticism, did I also mention that they were produced by Jay
Reatard – the fourth musician out of all musicians from all times that I would
marry without question, I was very disappointed that I missed both of their SXSW
shows this spring, I was mildly disappointed that he turned out to be a
curly-headed very cute clean child of age 23 tops which explains the
shallowness of some of his lyrics but I prefer to believe it all masks glorious
depths, he was accompanied by a keyboard wizard and a
depraved-in-the-tacky-and-icky-way drummer, their best stuff in my opinion is
the raging synth-punk heavy on the ominous organs, some of the recorded songs
I’ve heard are reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails but generally they’re in line
with a whole school of current bands like Lost Sounds, The Vanishing, and
Destruction Unit, there was good variety in the songs and singing style – some
less-synthy punk songs for example, lastly he voiced a desire to be picked up
by a label so he could live in Hollywood which confirmed again an unattractive
value system or a charming lack of indie-pretension (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuViajV8dis)
