In a cooler world this album would have caused a musical (r)evolution, a major religion would have formed around Katie Garside (of which Richard Hell wouldve been elected Pope), and all that SoCal Epitaph whitebread faux punk nincompoopery would have faded into eternal oblivion where it belonged! whew!....But no...we live in THIS world where poncy little wanskters meander about in their Hot Topic punk getups, terrorising hapless pedestrians with their skateboards, forever whining and crying about how life hasn't lived up to their wanky little expectations, how nobody understands them or their dorky little (I wince to utter the word) "culture". Someone call a Wambulance Wawawawawawawaaaaa! Yea, call me a bleeding Mohawk... A band that truly fits their name, Daisy Chainsaw released only one record and its a gem. "Eleventeen" was at the time of its release a welcome left center vibe amid all the post grunge MTV hoo-ha as well as the unfortunate advent of the Greenday scourge that continues to fester in the musical enviornment of present time. Katie (Lead Vox) was a cute (and probably still is) diminutive pixie like entity with a bigger pair hanging than all of these so called punk wonks today! This girl is off THE HOOK! A critical mass of sexy spazzmatism traversing some of the most incinderary hard rock of the time. Borrowing from hardcore, old school NYC pre-punk as well as the noise asthetic (via Butthole Surfers/Sonic Youth) creates an ambrosial miasma of sonic malfeasance that the goddess Siva could slamdance to. Crispin Gray's guitars and Richards Adam's bass indulge in some serious textural intercourse while Vinee Johnson's drums give it foundation as well as velocity. Infuse this with a playful pop hook sensibilty, you have a rare band that is its own genre."Pink Flower" is a beautiful expression of controlled havoc that morph's into a dreamy psychedlic haze of melody. "Love Your Money" is beyond classification...bouncy teen punk after a three day crack binge(?) There is a certin mischeiveseness that infroms the music, an o'veour of innocent cynism that is provocative without taking itself too seriously.The Yeah Yeah Yeah's come to mind. Perhaps the upside of all these tired "punk" bands is that when something like this comes along, it just doesn't sound good..it sounds Real good.
