GRAVY TRAIN!!!!
Oakland's bestest electro-punk-raunch-rap foursome tryies out tunes from its hot new CD All the Sweet Stuff (due on Cochon in July). The most fun you can have that's relatively legal. "The band mixes musical styles and sexual orientations with reckless abandon, coming up with a try-sexual, lo-fi rap/dance fusion that makes Peaches sound as polished and demure as Celine Dion." --All Music Guide

JENNA RIOT
Jenna Riot's favorite things are: tough queer femmes, big hair, fishnets, stilettos, gaudy jewelry, and Crunks Not Dead Records. She is a busy bombshell! Take a vacation to the lipstick lakes and sip on a lip-gloss cocktail in your best bikini to "Girl You Look Expensive" (out on Crunks Not Dead). Her lyrics indulge in views of modern feminism, best friends forever, traditional vs. modern, femme paradises, butch/femme dynamics, raunchy & glam.
"The glamorous Ms. Riot's sound is a sexy, smartly tuned hybrid of everything fabulous: the same vibe that's been carefully flirted with by bands like the Fitness and Mon Frere." --The Stranger

CLOROX GIRLS
Does it matter that the Clorox Girls are boys? No. What matters is the music they make and the impression they leave after the final sweaty mongoloid fan leaves the club. Thurston Moore and Byron Coley nailed it 'with their quip that the Clorox Girls "are harder to ignore than a trouser full of antlers." What you have in the Clorox Girls is a band that plays late 70s style punk, from a time when punk was influenced by the likes of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, Little Richard, Elvis, and Howlin Wolf. Couple this with early '80s Los Angeles, you know, the Gears, Controllers, Germs, Red Cross, (Chavo) Black Flag, Dickies, (along with healthy serving of early Who, some unhealthy French pop obsessions), and you have an idea of where these three Girls are coming from." --SXSW
