Bang! Bang!
Electric Sex EP
Morphius
__________________________________________________

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.
