Albums Bugatti Type 35, LIVE on WORT, upcoming release VICTORY

Press Reviews It's probably seeded in some weird Oedipal complex that will manifest itself in full form someday in the office of my psychologist, but I love women that rock. Something about a woman in a band playing any instrument with dexterity and imagination always perks my attention. If you couple that with a female singer with a really great voice and even better lyrics I usually become an instant fan. Bugatti Type 35 is that band.This CD really grabs you right away. The first track, "Winner," is one of those songs that, the first time you hear it, visions of Matt Pinfield introducing the video on some random MTV show pop into your mind. The different (but not so different to be have a radio repellent effect) sound on this disc is showcased expertly with this opening track. The crunching guitars and overpowering drums produce a sound that is somehow derivative of the Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth, and strangely enough at the same time, Tool.However the best aspect of this disc are the lyrics; thought provoking and poetic, I often read them while pondering my existence, social status, moral values, ect. "If I could just pull the world closer to my seat/ I could reach everything from here." "Will you unclench my fist while I try to conform/ aching from the trip you caught me sobbing with humiliation in my eyes." You get the idea.BT35's string of meaningful epigrams produces an integrity that very few indie rock bands seem to possess. When combined with music their lyrical poetry becomes an experience that is sometimes even overwhelming. To summarize, this band rules.- tongue e-zine At its best, this Madison three-piece puts together an ideally balanced mix of grainy female vocals, sinewy guitar/bass interplay, and direct, visceral, unfussy drumming. The songs are solid, inventive without being too pleased with their own cleverness. The sound is usually dry, clean - kind of a less amphetaminated Albini sound minus the asshole factor. The guitar chords are nicely voiced and work well with the crafty, precision-forged basslines - at times, their playing reminds me of pared-back, less-funked-more-punked version of fellow Madisonians' Bucky Pope and Steve Lewis from the Tar Babies.Bugattitype 35 is less effective at the more generic, crunch-laden screamers: "Slab" conveys its lyrics' scattershot condemnation of violence, sexism, corporatism, religious bigotry, and the usual deserving suspects with too-typical overdriven, HAHDKOAH aggression. When singer Wendy's voice rises to a scream in "Killboard," the lyrics' more focused rage against commercialized sexual violence effectively emphasizes the contrast between that scream and her normally more reserved intensity.Though Bugattitype 35 is not at all bluesy in any stereotypical way, something of that intensity, a coiled sense of tension and urgency, breathes through their music, expressed not in flailing catharsis but as a sense of the damage a body can hold, a sense that can be purified into usable anger and determination. - Milk Magazine"After years of club gigs and demo tapes, Madison's Bugatti Type 35 has finally recorded and released its self-titled debut CD. It's about time: the hard-working group's fuzzed-out, blustery rock sound has been ready for digital duplication for quite a while now. Most of these 11 songs are bathed in a thick, soupy layer of guitars. In conjunction with singer, Wendy's growling, throat-ripping voice, that's the glue that holds the record together. Overall, it's the sort of recording that begs to be heard through oversized amps. The bulging mix was meant to make speakers vibrate. Even the slowest-burning tracks ("Sing", et al) operate with a jacked-up urgency that swells to something greater, and that helps lend potency to angry message songs like "Killboard"."- Wisconsin State Journal"...B35 ROCK..." - - Alternative Press "Wendy is a force to be reckoned with. This isn't just some girl whining about why life sucks (see Courtney Love); her lyrics have meaning and she doesn't feel the need to scream them all..."-minnesota daily "...a welcome new sound, combining straightforward lyrics with earnest, all-hell-breakin'-loose musicianship."-night sites&sounds"...etches in the memory instantly..."-Columbus Guardian "...well-crafted songs that cover more territory than a Honda with a full tank of gas."-moo magazine "...strong, honest-to-gosh-from-the-gut thoughts and convictions..."-noisepaper "...they're interesting in a way that most post Nirvana flailers aren't."-the isthmus
