** The seething sexual undercurrent of a Velvet's record. - Comes With A Smile

** Like a moldy peach playing patty-cake with can. Bad times never seemed so good. - Spin

** A dark blend of low-fi, fuzzed out guitars, thrashy hip-hop style drums and Sharp's pleasantly off-kilter vocals... 8 out of a near perfect 10 - Alternative Press

** Addictive, rhythm-heavy compositions infused with slippery vocals and weaving guitars; when embellished with her outburts of 'yea' and 'uh-huh,' Sharp's songs achieve maximum bump and grind. - Magnet

** Filled with sly beats and overdubbed vocals, Ill Ease makes slick rock music that sexily slip and trips on itself--like a drunk friend whose word-slurring only enhances her magnetic appeal... musically catchy and lyrically intriguing - Venus

THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM LIVE!



ILL EASE

ill ease was born as a recording project when an old 8-track, a haunted piano and a guitar amp with no off-switch for the vibrato were left in an abandoned auto shop in brooklyn.

sum pics

since then, ill ease has gone live and toured across the states and europe several times in "a flurry of intoxication".

the live show is rolling stones 45s all scratched and skipping to a noisey new york beat. dancey dissonance that won't stumble home.

a one-piece that sounds like a 5 piece. spazzy drum grooves with krazy guitar and bass riffs looped on top like sugar smacks. fruity loops-de-loopy-ist!!

i just find that civilization and its discontents is much funnier when you remove the "n" and leave a space. How discontenting is the idea of a "disco tent" anyway? it's damn near terrifying.

the crash rules! pink cage has never sounded better!

good luck w/ the air raid sirens, them shits is loud.
