I’ve just been punched in the gut. Jumped in the alley by two punk bitchez who string the guitar that they share with barbed wire, beat out their jams on oil drums. This tape, by Philadelphia two-piece Layers/Quake, is the sonic equivalent of Wendy O. Williams’ role in Reform School Girls. My brain is melting. [...]

Everyone’s favorite bisexual electro-weirdo, Peaches, released a video this week for the song “Relax.” As always, she creeps me the heck out. via Peaches, YoungCreature.net
Went to see Hunx and The Punkettes, Brilliant Colors, and Gun Outfit last night at the Hemlock in San Fran. I usually hate going to see shows by myself, but the bands’ tight (or otherwise inspired) performances and a totally gay, wickedly rowdy crowd made for a really good time. Olympia, WA’s Gun Outfit started [...]
