Atomic Swindlers!
|
Out Magazine October 2005
Imagine a lesbian-fronted sextet combining David Bowie's glamour, Barbarella's sci-fi camp, Pink Floyd's sonic extravagance, and Goldfrapp's gauzy vocal drama, and you've begun to wrap your head around Rochester, N.Y.'s, unlikely but utterly sublime Atomic Swindlers. Their self-distributed debut album luxuriates in the alienation of early-'70s gay aesthetics, but vocalist April Laragy puts a girl-on-girl twist on Bowie's androgynous androids with lushly vibrating tracks like "Intergalactic Lesbian Love Songs." Best of all, these arch retro-futurists boast art-rock chops that fell out of fashion before the Atomic Swindlers were even born.
-Barry Walters
 | ATOMIC SWINDLERS: Coming Out Electric
"It's downright epic with Gun Club-ish, Bunnymen-esque texturing and Bowie cool. The music's lust groove and powerfully sexual dynamic is amplified lyrically and visually with lead vocalist April Laragy …”-Frank DeBlase

About me:
I want to make sure you know....
I represent artists... the work on my page was most likely created by Joel Trussell or another Artist that I represent. The music - is not me either... it is the Atomic Swindlers.
I love working with artist and I love what I do - because of that I am very sensitive to people being recognized for their work and also very sensitive to people misrepresenting other peoples work.
Do not add me if you think you are meeting a fellow artist... I am a marketing guy that loves to work with creative people. I guess I live vicariously through the people I work with and represent... So if you want to hang with an old sales guy that loves artists then add me.
