So if anyone even vaguely knows me they know that I love music from the gritty streets of New York City and this is a forgotten gem that I really feel is worth revisiting. It's a poppy little sleazy album that flows with great energy and overall is a sing-along good time. This was unfortunately the bands only proper full length release and I think "Pretty Suicide" was a minor hit and the song "Spit" was featured in the movie "The Crow: City of Angels". It also includes a very nice version of The Velvet Underground classic, "Sunday Morning". Check it out, for sure.

Thanks mate.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome
ReplyDeleteI got this guess it must have been '96 then! Played it non-stop, great album. Anyone know what happened to the members?
ReplyDeletei know that Brijitte West is in "Brijitte West and the Desperate Hopefuls" right now but I haven't had a chance to even listen to anything by them yet.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great interview with Brijitte talking about this album here

hard to find, thanks for share. been looking everywhere
ReplyDeleteI saw them as an opening act for Marilyn Manson in 96'. I instantly fell in love! After the concert I went to Virgin records in NY and bought their CD. They were kick ass. Too bad they aren't together anymore.
