Our favourite hairdresser is coming back & you will be surprised again!

Seth Bogart (Hunx & His Punx), debut solo album, funny 80s electro pop/ new wave style, very special guest stars:

Cheela, Australian 24 years old teen electro pop star. A little bit like Molly Nilsson. The main different is that I can listen to Molly’s songs until their end.

Clementine Creevy from garage rock/ indie punk band Cherry Glazerr

Kathleen Hanna from influential feminist punk band Bikini Kill in the 90s, then electroclash band Le Tigre, and now indie punk band The Julie Ruin. Anyway her husband is Adam Horowitz of Beastie Boys.

The world’s most influential teenager on fashion, Tavi Gevinson, founder and editor-in-chief of Rookie Magazine, aimed primarily at teenage girls. She has started her career at 12 as a fashion blogger, and was (is) read by the biggest fashion designers too.

One thing I knew before getting acquainted with the music of Hunx & his Punx is that punk can handle any sort of weirdness basically, the more, the better. But I remember how I couldn’t really tell if it’s love or hate when it comes to Seth Bogart and his style –  is gay punk just a stupid joke? Or is it something that new bands are really lacking maybe? Since the irresistible  pop tunes of Hunx & his Punx took the control out of my hands, I don’t really care if it’s trashy and sometimes disgusting – as long as it’s fun and my parents would definitely hate it (oh and one more thing, I just love Shannon Shaw who’s also a lead figure in the band)

Here’s their new album, titled Street Punk, a twisted attempt, you might think and you are right. I’ve heard it somewhere that if you want to make an album as quick as possible, you should turn to street punk – so, whenever I hear the album title, I smell a big deal of irony – needless to say, even though the new songs have a more overdriven sound (especially the opening track Bad Skin),  it’s really far from street punk. But would you miss the soundtrack of supermasculine agression when you can have super-witty ill-behaved fun garage songs instead??

If you like to giggle, here’s a new video with 3 Hunx tracks and hilariously careful narration – the album is available from Hardly Art Records, one of my favorite labels these days!

in classic style
