InfluencesBeer, Blondie, The Distillers, Bowie, Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Social D (Mike, you are SO hot -- that's from the boys ;), The Ramones, Dead Boys, The Cramps, Kiss, CHEAP TRICK, X, New York Dolls, Supersuckers, Gary Numan! All of the original outlaws including Hank, Johnny, and newcomers like Wayne the Train, and Scott Biram.... The Flashier the better.
Sounds LikeNominated by Chicago Music Promotions as the best band of 2006.
"More melodic than the Ramones and edgier than Hole,This is the band that should be playing in the next Zombie movie in the scene just before helpless victims are ripped apart."-Jackie Lee King, Unrated Magazine.com "...damn-near essential… garage-loose punkpoprawk..." -Al Muzer, The Aquarian

"Yeah, that’s right–punk-pop, as opposed to pop-punk, which very often sucks. What’s the difference? Instead of emulating relatively lightweight pop-punksters, these cats go for the jugular by channeling the badassery of punk rock ‘n’ roll bands like X, The NY Dolls, and a few modern groups like the Distillers for good measure, only to sprinkle some sugar in with the medicine by way of the buzzsaw power-pop of bands like Cheap Trick. If i’m not getting too obscure here, i’d like to point out that The Lusties remind me in no small degree of The Goops, a fantastic but obscure female-fronted punk band from the mid-90s whose singer, Eleanor Whitledge, had a lot in common with the deep, soulful alto of The Lusties’ own Ms. Edie Lustie." -Superstarcastic.com

“...what you are going to find is pure adrenaline, velocity, and an undeniable comparison between Edie and punk rock legend Deborah Harry of Blondie…”. -The Hype Machine

“The only band worth the hangover.” -Angela Keaton, Liberated Space, KOOP radio, Austin, Texas

“They combine the crunch of punk guitars, a throbbing rhythm section, and a blast of truly beautiful singing into a tightly wound punch….”. -The Austin Chronicle

“If you like Cheap Trick, Blondie, or the New York Dolls, you’ll love The Lusties…”. -Artistdirect.com

“Witness the verge of stardom….” -Lowgradepanic.com

“…snotty guitar garage punk…”. -garagerockradio.com

“…fun loving chaos…”. -The Sound Review

“…who will be THE ULTIMATE BAND?… UBL editors love The Lusties…” -UBL.com

“…monster hooks and killer looks…” -UBL.com

“…Edie is an awesome singer and songwriter…”. -texasrockabillyhonkytonk.com

“…Edie Lustie comes off like a ripped-and- torn Siouxsie-meets-Vampirella,.. -KNAC.COM

“…a great female fronted rock band…”. openingbands.com

“…listen, to The Lusties…!” -MP3hits "ROCK!" -Edie Lustie
