One of the more tasteless labels and presumably one of their more
tasteless releases of the new year, Texas Terri, a foul-mouthed screamer
and her "Stiff Ones," and may we assume we ain't talkin' bout a drink
here, eh? Well either way, read into it what you want, it's an easy
listening assignment for the Devil and his disciples in a loud raucous
sort of trip through the fire. Gotta love the name though --it just fits…
And with that open-ended statement, let's explore a little into what one
might expect from such an endeavor. How about heavy distortion, nasty
attitude and a New York Dolls revisited sort of blaring glam look right
out of the fucking gutter?
Originally released back in '98, the cool
waters of the time have warmed since for these wild eyed Punk Rock and
Glam fanaticisms and thus the reissuing of a new and improved version
and plus one -- so if there's any room left for further consumption,
there's your extra bonus! Terri in fact looks a little like Iggy -- with
his hair on fire -- in his prime and sounds more like Wendy O' or even Joan
Jett in some cases -- we're going back to the beginning in all instances
however.
An over the top West Coast staple these last few years, Texas
Terri's apparently been causing quite a stir in their Los Angeles locale
and if you're doing anything close to that these days, you must be doing
something right… or very wrong as the case may be. Raunchy and
unrepentant, if they look onstage anything like they sound on record,
its bound to be one Hell of a show -- in fact it better be because they
won't be allowed back! They've done The Vans Warped thing last year and
look for 'em on the SXSW Showcase coming up in Austin in March. They're
built on sin, sex and outrage and I've heard better but they're
basically a packaged crack-up that's worth a listen… like I said before
with a name like that, how can ya ignore 'em?
