Its roots are in Liverpool’s fab new wave-electro club night, Adult Books. There, DJs Chris Ward (vocals) and Zoë Alex (synth, vocals) saw the effect that glam guitar, decadent beats and gorgeous, synthetic pop hooks can have on the minds and morality of the young. So, together with Kai Sheen (guitar) and Robert Jones (bass), they developed Sex Education as a means to ruthlessly exploit this.
Be warned: Some fear that exposure to Sex Education at a young and impressionable age destroys innocence and encourages permissiveness (a bad thing, apparently). Others are convinced that Sex Education is just what we’ve all needed, and we should welcome the frenzied feeling, ecstatic dancing and dodgy one night stands that result. Either way, you may wish to be accompanied by a consenting adult when listening.
Sex Education can be contacted via this MySpace page for concerts, tall stories, kisses and subversion. And look out for further lessons shortly... Because you can never receive enough Sex Education.
Yo! Just got your new release, i'm loving it, its proper off the hook! Any chance of releasing Twisting & Shaking, that track is shit hot. Support from across the water. Ben x
A brand-new, previously unheard track by Sex Education is featured in my April show on Dandelion Radio, a Peel-inspired online station playing exciting new and unsigned music. We are a fully-licensed Internet station that is run and presented by volunteers recording monthly shows.
To view the schedule and listen to the audio stream, visit our website www.DandelionRadio.com, or find us on MySpace at www.myspace.com/dandelionradio. Hope you can find the time to listen to our fine shows...
