With releases on DNT, Gilgongo, and Skin Graft, Gay Beast have garnered a reputation for uniqueness on the rock fringe, their sound being both too weird for the stereotype of a “gay band” and “too gay” for the noise-rock set. Upon examination of the influence blender, one finds remnants of Devo, Captain Beefheart, equatorial pop-rock from the 60s and 70s, no wave, and feminist theory. This concoction, delivered via Gay Beast’s unique political approach to composition, is explored heavily on their third album “To Smithereens”, appearing Winter 2010 on Skin Graft Records. ————————
Met releases op labels DNT, Gilgongo en Skin Graft heeft de band een reputatie opgebouwd aan de randen van het rockspectrum. Hun geluid is te vreemd voor het stereotype ‘homo-band’ en ‘te gay’ voor noise-rockers. Invloeden zijn Devo, Captain Beefheart, Afrikaanse pop-rock uit de jaren ‘60 en ‘70, no wave en feministische theorie. Dit brouwsel resulteert in Gay Beasts derde album ‘To Smithereens’, die deze winter verschijnt op Skin Graft Records.
Con stampi sulla DNT, Gilgongo, e Skin Graft, Gay Beast hanno guadagnato una reputazione per l'unicità ai margini rock, il loro sound si sia troppo strana per lo stereotipo di una "banda gay" e "troppo gay" per il noise-rock. All'esaminazione dei loro influenze, si trova i resti di Devo, Captain Beefheart, pop-rock equatoriale degli anni '60 e '70, no wave, e della teoria femminista. Questo intruglio, attuate mediante l'approccio unico di Gay Bestia alla composizione, viene esplorato pesantemente sul loro terzo album "To Smithereens", che arriva in inverno 2010 su Skin Graft Records. Z wersji na DNT, Gilgongo, Skin Graft, Gay Beast zyska?y reputacj? wyj?tkowo?ci; ich d?wi?k jest zarówno zbyt dziwny dla stereotypu "zespó? gejowskiego" i "za gejowski" dla zestawu noise-rock. Po zbadaniu ich wp?ywów, znajdziemy odrobin? Devo, Captain Beefheart, równikowego pop-rock z lat 60. i 70., no wave i teorii feministycznej. Ta mikstura, dostarczona za po?rednictwem unikalnego, politycznego podej?cia grupy do kompozycji z?ozy?a si? w du?ym stopniu na ich trzeci album "To Smithereens ("Na drobne kawa?ki"), które zosta? wydany przez Skin Graft Records zim? 2010.
Join us May 26th as the nuclear family explodes into a psychedelic mushroom cloud of writhing, urgent vocals set against the precise, premeditated clatter of guitar, drums and keys. Add a dash of electronic
PRESS QUOTES: “It's hard to put guitar/synth/drums trio Gay Beast into a neat little genre box, as they make some seriously, awesomely weird noise . . . They look and sound like something new. That's not easy. Hell, in this day and age of recycled everything, doing something different or new is almost impossible. They should have called themselves the Gay Pioneers. Or the Queer Pathfinders.” ”Bands like Gay Beast used to get me excited, but none have had such a gloriously bent and creative batch of songs to match up with the innovation.” “Think Health, think Lovely Little Girls, think DNA. But don't think too hard. It wouldn't be right.” “Gay Beast are one of the few bands I've seen around that are seriously challenging the form and content of modern rock music. Their compositions and execution are ambitious and effective. A truly unique and weird band.”
