"From the ashes of The Monitors come the Plexi-3, with Ryan Kill-A-Watt back behind the drums in Sir Snacks-A-Lot mode, Wendy Norton of Lookers/Kryptonite Records fame on guitar. Hotbed of music that Wisconsin is, I probably know more about the players in bands from the state that I need to, and while I may not be enough of a local to make such claims, I’m going to say that this is the band Ryan and Wendy were destined to be in. I loved the dig-these-kids-snot of the Kill-A-Watts and the schticky electro-punk of The Monitors, but I think their talents are finally fulfilled with this outfit. Exquisitely crafted two-minute pop-rock-and-roll songs with hooks galore, fantastic vocal harmonies, well written lyrics, and near-flawless playing, plus great outfits/image, highly entertaining live presence...there isn’t much missing from this package. They pull various influences (mod, punk, girl group melodics, Sixities pop...) together to create music that seems so simple it’s frightening. It’s as if they finally found some secret formula people have been seeking for ages. But it’s probably just two very talented song writers and musicians ending up in the right circumstances. They even nail a Love cover, something many bands can do passably, but few can do this well. They should release an LP immediately instead of teasing us with more singles. But I will take what I can get. Best band in Wisconsin right now (if we’re considering The Mistreaters as defunct). Scum stats: 500 copies, and yet another grapically well done package from Dusty Medical as well." (RK) From the archives of TerminalBoredom.com
Hey, someone got into our car last night, stole a Hartke 3500 bass head, and replaced it with a box of Old Style full of empty beer cans. If anyone hears anything, please let us know. Thanks.
I switched on the radio to hear your live appearance on WMSE, and was confronted with the Dead Boys,The Humpers, and a bunch of bands that all sounded like rip off records artists from the 90's! I tugged on my zebra print Mini skirt and called Greg Lowery. We discussed it and we're bringing it back. Just thought you should know. You guys were great too. I totally got caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
