He jerks and leaps in kinetic seizure, as if the music is coursing through him, like Jagger or a young Iggy Pop when the Stooges were first tearing up the history of rock'n'roll. Out of this riot of beauty erupts something rivetingly grotesque, a staccato hail of arid, pitch-black art-funk that lurches around Swanson's oblique vocal. The band's looks are no handicap either: drummer Brad Holland is the twinkly, hirsute backwoodsman bassist Steve Damstra is simply perilously handsome and singer David Swanson has cheekbones to rival Julianne Moore - as you might expect from someone who's recently modelled for Dior. (The name, perfectly encapsulating the beatnik collision of nihilism and spontaneity, is taken from the text accompanying Raymond Pettibon's cover illustration for Sonic Youth's 1990 album Goo: "I stole my sister's boyfriend/ It was all whirlwind, heat and flash/ Within a week we killed my parents and hit the road.")Īmid the tinnitus-inducing, crushingly conservative retro rattle of 100 new-garage rock bands with no bassist, this near-obscene, low-end frenzy dispenses with guitar altogether and wreaks havoc with just a bass, drums and a much-abused Moog synth.
