URINAL MINTS - MEAT THE BAND
Rock is at it's best when it's at it's worst. If you don't understand
what
this means, think about pioneering punk bands like the Sex Pistols, the
Germs, and the Ramones - all ahead of their time; all notorious in
their own
way. When this early punk rock had a one-night stand with a slutty
no-limits
comedian hooker, an illegitimate son spewed forth into the world. Into
a
world of bland boy bands, false metal and dirty hippies. They called
it the
Urinal Mints.
Their songs, with off-color lyrical content and catchy hooks that'll
burn
into your brain with no sympathy for the sensibility for the listener,
will
have you smoking crack in your own mind; addicted and selling your
skank ass
for more.
The Urinal Mints started in 1998, when founding member Propecia Rogaine
had
grown tired of the hard-core punk band he was in and started to cook up
his
own material in the meth lab kitchen of rock - boil out the politics,
dash in
some naughty words, sprinkle in some sing-song schlock, simmer in the
brain,
and there you have your own minty-fresh Soufflé. Mmm-mm! Makes your
mouth
water doesn't it?
The original cast included some long-time friends who were also in
other
bands, but what had started as a side project quickly became too tasty
to be
put on the back burner. Several years and band members later, the cast
is
now a group of veteran musicians and they have made the Urinal Mints
their
number one priority. God help the unwary.
Your nipples will get hard as you see Propecia Rogaine strap on his
bass and
sing along to the choir of craziness. Watch him as he leads the band
down
the path to Hell. Luke-O-Plackia of the late, great Sixty-Second
Quickies,
rips off his skirt then rips into his Telecaster like an ol' drunken
master.
Listen as his glazed man-hams make young audience members scream! And
bringing up the rear…I mean baiting the ladies is the fisherman of
drums -
hook, line and sinker - the one and only William St. William, high
priest of
beats. Right!
Together, these three fellows are not stopping as long as the rock is
rocking. They're ready to play your town for all the crack they can
smoke.
Spark it up, baby! Spark it up!
