ELECTRIC ROULETTE - Review :
Woe betide a man who can't dig Walton Hesse. This buncha degenerate country kickers are rolling around the mud with the pigs and moonshine and (when the acid has worn off) they just about manage to stand for long enough to make an awesome refried country fuzz!
Shit. These kids have been to hell, escaped, only to git takin' down by Bason 'n' Brock down to the penitentiary with The Midnight Special! Along the way, they dug the sounds of Hank, Prince Billy, Zappa, some spotlight kid called Beefheart and a fistful of grimy garage 45s to make an unholy God-fearing racket... and if that ain't paradoxical enuff, they're from the North of England too.
Just who makes up this band of brothas-and-a-sister? Well, these freaks have a fuckin' guru man! It's the Maharishi meets the Industrial revolution! The Gentleman 'Toots' Garner fuzzes through the melodies of Nicola Crosby and Matt Grayson, while Daniel James Fleming beats out primal thumps jus' for kicks. In the middle of the mêlée is a man called Dominic who likes to throb some. He can't be trusted. You can see it in his eyes. Turn for a second and he'll stab you with a snapped bass-neck. Coming along for the ride is a descendant of fuckin' royalty called Dorian who'll tinkle an ivory in a bar-room brawl 'nbetween glass chuckin' and checkin' for dregs. Guiding, with a wave of a skunk filled fist is White Panther Sam Heitzman who will press a button and make everything sound jus' fine.
Listening to their sounds... man... you can be transported to the seediest bits of Nashville TN, then, in the blink of an eye, the Velvets are getting man-handled off the stage of some Plastic Drastic Monastic or summat... the fuzz is out over dreamy blissed out psychedelia and Andy Warhol is cryin' in the corner 'cuz some guys with beards have been shovin' the hippies around. There's something other wordly about this buncha ne'er-do-wells. Do they worship the devil? Has a pact been made? Who knows? I ain't brave enough to ask the fuckers. You can ask 'em if you like.
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
