Release Notes:
The Mighty Boosh, Jay Kay, Shane McGowan, Franz Ferdinand, The
Cramps, The Damned, Sky Saxon and designer Anna Sui don't
often agree on things, but they have all declared their love
for cult favourites The Priscillas and their unique brand of
milkshake punk.
Their last album was a retro slice of bubblegum pop, a John
Waters style, Rocky Horror Show unraveling before you. It
created two sell-out singles which hit Radio One, BBC 6Music
and XFM. They ended up guesting on Phil Jupitus' 6Music show
twice, plus sessioning for WFMU in New York. Even Topshop got
in on the act, voting a video in their top 40 of the year.
Over in the States The Priscillas frequently guested on the
radio show of Little Steven of Springsteen's E-Street Band and
The Sopranos. The cult approval began.
However this time round, the band are moving on and embracing
a whole flavour of different influences with a change of tack.
While respecting their µleader of the pack' ethics, powerpop,
disco, 70's New York, indie-pop and mariachi all collide to
make a unique splash of genres that reveal an album of
blazingly catchy pastiche and vibrancy. Singing about 'Jimmy
in a Dress' or 'gonna rip up your photograph', these ladies
know how girl/boy really works, and are prepared to take that
message further. The album has been given the once over by
producers Andy Chatterley (Kanye West, Pussycat Dolls, Kylie,
The Kills) and Marc Waterman (Ash, Elastica) in the girl's
mission to move into a myriad of different influences.
Strong women know what they want and this time round, the
girls are joined by of all thingsÓ.a boy. Phil Martini,
ex-Tokyo Dragons drummer, is a brave sticksman to deal with
this cacophony of super heroines, catwomen, go-go dancers and
superstars. Frontwoman Jenny Drag, a New Jersey feline panther
of a chanteuse, prowls her stage protectively clad in a
catsuit that would give Pussy Galore palpitations. Such a
strong diva needs a strong team to back her up. Norwegian
Guitar diva Guri Go-Go may look like a Veronica Lake kitten,
but her rubber-taut guitarwork shows her to be anything but.
Native Brit, Kate Kannibalãs twist on melodic basslines kick
as hard as her legs do on stage. Stripping sensations from
Blondie, Abba and Queen, the ensemble triumph on stage in
taut, razor-sharp rocking shows that have gleaned attention at
Glastonbury, Leeds Carling Weekend, Bestival and Lost
Vagueness.
