The Pink Sexies |
 I
accidentally cut my mustache off th’other day, so I dunno if Mike
Wrecked ‘Em sent me this rekkid just to torment me or not, but I
suppose that’s beside the point. The rather awesomely named
Pink Sexies hail from Knoxville,
and they play Midwestern punk rock. Now, that’s a little strange,
geographically speaking. I mean, being Southern and all, you’d think
they’d have a shitkicker vibe to ‘em, possibly some ‘billy, but nope, this
is more like…well, you remember that song about beating your girlfriend
with a rake by those guys from Indiana?*
It’s like that, only insert (ahem) ‘girlfriend’ for ‘boyfriend’, and you
got the Sexies. It’s whiny, obnoxious,
and sloppy, on purpose. They’ve got lyrics like “Little boy, yeah
honeychild/Stay with me for a little while/Let’s crawl into the back of my
van/We’ll ride the rocket to the promised land”. They’ve also got other
songs about chicks tho, so I dunno WHAT these
Pink-os are into fucking, but I will say
they’re definitely “Sex-ie”, one way or the other. Oh, and Mike
tells me that the singer, Hamo, is Middle Eastern, and the bass
player, Bill, is Jewish, which means they might kill each other at
some point. At any rate, it’s a fun record, if you’ve got an ear for 70’s
corn-punk. And you really should, that stuff was boss. *I dunno if said band, the Weasels, really WAS from Indiana, but they sounded like it. Plus EVERYBODY sez the Pink Sexies sound like the Pagans, and I wanted to change it up a little. ______________________________________________________ |
