A one-off LP side-project alt-supergroup consisting of Russell Simins (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda (Cibo Matto), Rick Lee (Skeleton Key) and Mike Mills (not from REM). Also notable: Sean Lennon guest-keyboards on speed rocker “It’s The Rage.” The album is very mid-90′s New York: a bit lo-fi JSBX blues-punk, Sleater-Kinneyish vocals (yes, yes they’re from the Pacific Northwest but you know what I mean), garage-punk keyboards, Beastie Boys/Luscious Jackson-y hip hop rhythms. “Dick Serious” is one of my favorite tracks and not just for the song’s title. It’s a crazy mashup of Simins’ madcap drums, horns and keyboards pulled from a punk world music fest and muffled mic vocals. I also like “Butterfucker” and that is for the title, too, but it’s also a really excellent heartbeat tempo’d stomper.
