SEXRAYS
Self-titled
Bazoom!

 
________________________________________________________

Another dose of campy, demented, porn-performance pussy punk from the whippers, strippers, and full-time deviants formerly known as Apocalypstick. It’s the same half-naked, fully-crazed bang-gang (Jackie O-Nasstie, KC/DC, etc) with a new, equally clever name, and a new, equally headache-making gutbucket concept album to bleed along with. It is impossible, really, to adequately describe what’s going on here, but it is safe to say that whatever you imagine a 13 song cowgirl-on-acid musical starring half a dozen gender bending sex n’ violence freaks from San Francisco would sound like, this is it, only weirder. I think “The Beast Inside the Babysitter” might be the quintessential Sexrays track, at least in this incarnation – it’s a droning, glitter-punky showtune about, as far as I can tell, killing and mutilating a child for kicks. “Chop her up and put her in a shopping bag” is the chorus! There’s also a pretty bitchin’ “Boots” cover (you really have to take this version literally, though) a reprise of their insanely annoying ‘hit’ “Whoop Ti-Do!” , and a speed-punk song called “God Save the Sperm” that I am pretty sure is just a bastardized “Highway Star” played at 100 MPH. Basically, it’s Charlie Manson playing naked movie star with the Carrie Nations. If you think you can handle that kinda freaky scene, then you know what to do, Z-man. ________________________________________________________
