Listen or Die
|
Hello. Here are 5 acts that we absolutely love at IAR that you may not have heard of. Of course, if you have you'll already know how brilliant they all are. Hurrah!
 ELECTROCUTE
Coco Kix and Holly Doll are an unsigned 2 piece electro-punk act that really should have taken over the world by now. We're actually a bit pissed off that they haven't. A slightly tamer version of Peaches, these girls have been likened to everyone from Le Tigre to Felix Da Housecat.
And rightfully so. With song titles such as the amazing "Cops Copulating" and the equally as marvelous "Shag Ball", the fact these girls are still rather unknown could quite possibly be one of the top 5 crimes of the century. Visit their MySpace website and listen to 3 of their songs in hi-quality full goodness. And you can even download another of their songs, all free. How brilliant! etc etc.
 MOTHER INC
Yvonne & Sandra, are a Yankee bunch. These two ladies hail from New York City, and have a passion for money and not much else. Well that's what their music claims anyways. They're actually late-30-something mothers. Bless. Slightly Pay-TV, slighty Ab-Fab, they're really not all that bad. In fact, they're fucking amazing.
If you can, hunt down the superbly flawless "Megacolon", a collaboration with Fischerspooner, in which they sing the ultimate line of line's "Finger in my hole, gettin' into the dig, there's cum-stain on my panties, and jizz in my wig, my man calls me cherry - thinks I'm uptight, but I'm gonna blow him off cuz I'm dynamite", along with some other just-as-amazing lines about being toilet slaves. Once you've heard that, Two of their other rather good songs are available for free download from their official website: the superficially unreal 'ATM no TLC', and 'Native New Yorker', with the latter being the more enjoyable of the two.
 SPALDING ROCKWELL
Mary-Louise & Nicole had some rather amazing commercial success as guest vocalists on Armand Van Helden's greatest single ever, 'Hear My Name'. They were also stars of the 3rd greatest video clip made in the history of music for that same track, where they spanked - albeit rather fabulously - a stack of people, still finding time to drink tea, eat a chocolate bikkie and look glamorous.
Their LP titled "KATE" is a work of genius, and their previous EP contains a track geniusly titled 'White Cotton Panties'. They're very good, we love them and we feel that the hairstyles they had in the 'Hear My Name' clip, are just legendary. Visit their official website and make sure you buy their new album on cd or on iTunes.
 SISTER 2 SISTER THE VERONICAS
Don't let the freakishly scary likeness to S2S deter you from the fact that these girls aren't all that bad. New single '4ever' seems to be doing all a bit well on the Australian charts, and we wouldn't mind if they stuck around for a while.
Well, at least for a second single. Visit their online haunt, and purchase their new single while you're at it. Australia's answer to a female Busted. Or something.
 PRINCESS SUPERSTAR
Since her first 'proper' commercial debut 'Bad Babysitter', the Superstar has been leaving an almighty big impression on those who've heard her music. Not the worlds best rapper, but so much spunk and attitude, she could think she was a fucking Von-Trapp and we'd still want to shag her senseless.
DJ, Rapper, and bootleg queen - her new album is simply sublime. The first single, 'Perfect', samples the disco-romp-goodness of 'Stars On 45' (!!!!!!!!!!!), which is obviously going to be regarded as the 2nd most clever sampling of a disco song this year (see Madonna 'Hung Up'). You can purchase the superstars intergalactic album of the future 'My Machine' here, and visit her online home shortly after. If free music's your "thing", then head on over to this bit of the net, sign up to the Princess' mailing database, and, whalla! Free MP3!
And may we just add, way back in god-knows-when, Superstar was virtually an unknown, we went to see her play support at a local 1200 Technics (horrifying, we know) show - and she tore the "roof" off, so to speak. Then, she signed our vinyl for us and gave us a "Fuck Off, I Want Princess Superstar" T-Shirt. Isn't she just an absolute saint?!!
So there you have it. Our attempt at educating some of you.
It will probably happen "never again", so lap it up while it's fresh.
