In my mind, Electric Sex involves porn chicklet
Amee Donovan, jumper
cables, and a very wet linoleum floor, but Chicago disco punks Bang! Bang!
have done a commendable job of convincing me otherwise with their current
EP. Electric Sex’s five tunes run on the same ‘80s funk-and-roll
motor used by most of the mopey dopes currently littering the pages of
Spin, only frontman Jack Flash and his muse/cohort Gretta Fine add snaky,
straight-tie guitars and liberal applications of squeals, yeahs, and
woah-oh-ohs where needed. The result is a hot and saucy frappe of downtown
club rock and back alley sex grooves that’s hotter and more convincing
than the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ affected boho skronk. And yes, you can dance to
it, and probably fuck to it, too, though you might wanna stretch a bit
before attempting to keep up with the pelvic beat.
