Funky, spaced out summer music, great to drive to, work to, just to listen to! Close to early Terrorvision and Incubus, or a lighter Therapy?, but with a very very funky beat and some screwy lyrics. These retro-types are perfect for that run-away-holiday feel. Not to be taken too seriously, this music should be accompanied by a cold beer and a hot day; alternatively in winter they act very well as a get-up-and-go when you can't seem to move...

Keep You Eyes on the Road & Suck the Wild!
29 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
I've been a big fan of MLWTTKK since their early WaxTrax days, and l agree that this album is in a completely different direction than their earlier material. But any die-hard TKK fan knows that this album originally was suppose to be put out by TKK's backup singers, the Bomb Gang Girlz. Thus, the big difference in style.
This particular album has a "beach bunny '50s" flair. It's campy and fun. For those of you into the darker "goth-satanesque-oh-no-i'm-gonna-slash-my-wrist-the-worlds-so-bad" music of TKK's earlier material, this album ain't for you.
However, like everything put out from TKK, their sound and image changes with the times. If you are a devout TKK fan, your collection isn't complete without this one. Its got a more "fun" feeling too it than most of TKK's other stuff. The sorta music a diva drag queen named Vicious Vixen Mission Stardust with her boytoy muscle boy would listen to on a warm summer day while cruising down PCH in a big gas guzzl'n pink Cadillac. Hot damn! Like the album states: "Keep Your Eyes on the Road and Suck the Wild!"*
* For those of you into Sex, Bondage, and Kinky S&M discipline - get TKK's "Sexplosion!"; For groovey darker dance music, check out "13 Above the Night"; for a harder sounding rock edge, get "A Crime for All Seasons"; for TKK's campy horror genre sampling kinda music, get "Confessions of a Knife" or "Kooler than Jesus".

Left-field Magnum Opus - Mad Life On The Road w/ TKK!!!
29 Sep 2001
Format:Audio CD
This CD marks the moment when Thrill Kill Kult outgrew the more stoic portion of their fanbase. After the satirical, sample-slam, Goth/Industrial devilry of their first 3 albums, and then the satirical, sampladelic, creepy-cheesey celebration of SEX and Disco on "Sexplosion!", AND then the perfect consolidation of both on "13 Above The Night", TKK opted for something new. And old, per se.
This record is a satirical (surprise!), sampladelic, b!tches brew of clashing sub-genres that obliterated expectations in 1995. Greasy biker-trash imagery reverberates hard across a musical landscape of demented, 60's surf-rock cliches, spaghetti western motifs, strip club glitz, the REAL soundtrack to "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas". Being on tour in a bus of madness for years, really coaxed the definitive Road Epic out of Thrill Kill Kult. A fantasy of desperate decadence.
Because this started out as a vehicle for the chicks in the band (Bomb Gang Girls), CinderellaPussy, and Jackie Blacque garner alot of the vocal spotlights on this disc. Having seen them live numerous times, these bunnies really kick, and their off-kilter howlings about their nutcase adventures are hilarious AND earnest.
"Glamour Is A Rocky Road", "The Golden Strip", and "Babylon Drifter" are the anchors that frame this disc, and rank as 3 of TKK's best songs ever. A bonfire of humor, disturbing notions, and wild abandon.
"Hit And Run Holiday" is absolutely cinematic, and will stand as one of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's most fully-realized, and outrageous artistic achievements.
Get it while you can.

Audio caricature of an S&M, chemical cocktail party...
2 Jun 1999
Format:Audio CD
hosted by a suave and vaguely reptilian humanoid sipping a highball in a silk smoking jacket, grinning maniacally at you throughout, showing rows and rows of very large teeth. If this sort of scene sounds at all inviting to you, don't hesitate to put on this seductively sinister disc at your next swinging beach "sex and exsanguination" party. Antidote sold seperately.
