[from San Francisco, CA]
among the top three bands of SXSW 2011 (for me) – last year, the lead singer of
The Magic Kids had a jacket on that said “Hunx and His Punx” but I thought he
was referring to him and his band, turns out the Hunk is not him – it is a very
fabulous thin boy in a moustache, cap, see-through leopard-print leggings, and
a raggedy t-shirt – Rockboy had just told me he’d ran into one of the members
of Operator Please, who had an outrageous blonde wig on, had dropped something,
and then staggered up to stare meaningfully at Rockboy for way too many seconds
– turns out it was actually Hunx: hipsters, they’re hard to tell apart - the lead singer was rock star outrageous,
rolling around on the ground exposing his very exposed crotch (“I wear really
pretty underwear”), and preening in front of male audience members – I don’t
know if he was really drunk/high or putting on the sort of show that will make
him famous, but his crew of 4 to 5 female guitarists/back up vocalists even
seemed a little surprised – I would have just classified them as classic 60s
rock with a male lead instead of a female lead, but Rockboy heard (and
rightfully so) really gay Ramones, Redd Kross, and some Rocky Horror – he seems
the sort of flame that will burn out fast if he doesn’t take care
