KAMIKAZE QUEENS : 7" Don't Look Back

The Kamikaze Queens are a colossal, gutsy, rock´n´roll bullet for the twenty-first century. Like the film noir damsels of 1920’s Berlin—petulant, sexual and ambiguous—so are the 2 front women, Trinity and Mad Kate—naturally vivacious, visceral, and insanely energized. Back them up with Tex Morton (Mad Sin, Sunny Domestos) on screaming guitars, Luscious Lloyd (Sin City Circus Ladies) on slap bass and Nico "Lipps" Lippolis (Colinda, Bob Rutman) beating on the drums—and you have a sound like a suicide pilot dive-bombing your rock´n´roll senses. This November, Kamikaze Queens deliver one of the year’s most interesting and infectious albums, Voluptuous Panic!, on Sounds of Subterrania Records. It’s a raucous, rockin’, sweet smellin’, 100% unbending creative force fit for any dance floor—an eclectic mix of spooky punk cabaret songs, soulful garage numbers & dirty rockabilly riffs. Starting with the garage beat scorcher, Don’t Look Back, you’re on a rock n’ roller-coaster that sends you flying and leads you into the smoky blues corners of If You Love Me. Thick in the Sin City of the 1920’s, the title track, Voluptuous Panic! is signature punkcabaret - a musical representation of hedonist nightlife. You are now deep in the queen’s cocktail, a mix of the fantastical waltz that was Berlin’s Weimar Republic and the 2 Minute Fuck anarchy that ruled the streets. The Morning After is just that, honey—you’ve spent the night with the Kamikaze Queens … so get your coffee and light another one.
