I just don't have a word to say the thought police came and took them away burnt my bridges, burnt my books set fire to my dreams, drove away in their fire trucks in their fire trucks words burst into flames telling so many tails I can smell ash blowing through the air words dance naked never to be disturbed and never ever, in this world, has a care Fire Fire fire fire Fire fire fire fire fight fire with fire, fire with fire you drop something bad and it sucks all the air out you drop something evil and it sucks all the air out there's no fire, without fire burn my books burn everything there's no fire Fire Fire fire fire Fire fire fire fire without fire burn my books burn everything there's no fire words and music by A. Goz

I'm not as pink as you might think Fire Fire you might need a firehose? have fire have travelled have fire, it goes higher have fire I have travelled I'm on fire one look from you, put me out! fire fire, I'm on fire fire fire fire fire, I'm on fire fire fire words and music by A. Goz

Frozen Peas 01:42
I take these bag of frozen peas baptise each in the names of all the fallen ones I name thee silver eyed and free eager to teach from all those rights and wrongs I see hexes in your eyes hexes in your eyes that don't exorcise I see hexes in your eyes time to take the frozen pea and babtise I take the frozen peas I take the frozen peas I take the frozen peas I take the frozen peas find me in the frozen aisle find me in the frozen isle it's time to check these out and make the checkout smile whilst taking out the frozen peas! Words and music by A. Goz

Something cold Ran down my leg A feeling most unpleasant Something old A demon egg A neon arc shaped crescent Legs like jello My hips felt narrow Thought I'd not walk for a week legs looked yellow you were a monsterous bedfellow not once did I hear you speak Things aren't quite so great 'cause now I'm a surrogate Carrying Rosemary's baby it's not so great I'm Rosemary's surrogate there's no, if's or buts or maybe I should've known it was mote In the automatic note to have eyes like their father, he'd wrote But he was a fucking goat And with that he wrote No, I am just, a goat! words and music by A. Goz

Spine 02:44
simply a shiver looking for the right spine simply a shiver waiting for the right time Simply a shiver Waiting for the right spine I was reading Ranpo At that very time and I'm just looking for a spine to run up now simply a shiver someone walked on your grave simply a shiver waiting for the 4th wave Simply a shiver there's nothing to fear now simply a shiver there's always something here, wow!? and I'm just looking for a spine to run up now and I'm just looking for a spine to run up now words and music by A. Goz

Kinetik 01:52
if I move this way it's kinetic if I arch this way it's kinetic if I run like this it's kinetic it's like pure bliss it's kinetic and I am powering up and about to go into overdrive and I am so enpowered I think I am going to die it's kinetic words and music by A. Goz
10.
JOY 03:26
I wipe a tear from my eye it's not in sadness, it tastes sweet and not at all salty like you'd expect it to be You fill me with JOY you can do no wrong I was an empty vessel and now I'm not, you've gone How can you call me a milf? When I don't have a kid I'd surely call you a mother something or other if I did You are just like a black hole for joy Where no fun does escape there's no zip at the back elastic helps and so does tape You things you see When not armed with gun It's probably for the best I'm set to stun Yeah, that's S T U N I'm not giving you anything! words and music by A. Goz

Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down Heat or eat, is often heard screaming should, drown that sound Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down I awoke in an unknown room, in some stranger's bed an IV in my arm, small cut sutured on my head Had I been in an accident? I can't even remember, last night I can't even remember, my name I only remember, my eyes and a bright white light I ripped out the IV and tried to sit up there was no pain, so I slowly, stood up slight feeling of nausea and a little dizzy, I think that would be my profile bio Everything is still spinning around a shape crawls across the ceiling, and smiles I wave, it waves back, that's the last time I go out with the girls Everything is still going up! and I am still not, going down I hear something, screaming, in my head I am told, reassuringly, that screaming is, perfectly normal, in these, unusual violet times Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down screaming should, drown that sound screaming should, drown that sound and not only, am I nil by vein I appear to be, nil by mouth now and there are no drugs, not that they are required no sex - tell me about it no rock and roll - oh, that is so, so, sad My clothes were nowhere to be seen damn, ah crap! I loved those boots. Meh! I walked out of the room, barefoot wearing the little gown that exposed my ass to the world. I never understood why they make them like that? Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down and I am STILL not GOING DOWN! Everything is going up! and I am still, not going, down down, down screaming should, drown that sound screaming should, drown that sound words and music by A. Goz

about

Yes it's time for the the Neon Kittens debut and it has, we assure you, been worth the wait.

It's a downtown NYC No Wave shiny funk party in the Flying Lizards studio


REVIEWS

Brian at In The Mind of A Bordello writes..

See the neon Kittens are indeed a wonderful erotic thing they offer down at heal post punk rock n roll put performed in cocktail dresses and velvet jackets , they are a stlyish affair they are slinky avant gard pop they are Serge Gainsbough played through a blender they are the most beautiful people to walk the planet but only looked at through a distorted mirror they offer hope for the future by nailing down the lid of the past they are Alec Chilton like but not in a Big Star way they are suffocating the Flies On Shebert then pulling off their wings . They are good bad and yes maybe a little evil they are also pretty much perfect in the most imperfect kind of way.


Blues Bunny write

These eleven songs are rough edged indeed with the often barely decipherable lyrics competing with post midnight percussive pounding and the angriest guitar this side of an intensive cognitive therapy session to provide a remarkably coherent post academia rant for the quasi-psychotic


Tremendo Garaje write

Yes, it's time for Neon Kittens debut and we assure you the wait has been worth it." An authentic No Wave Funk party in Downtown New York, held at the Flying Lizards Studio... And all this they say to themselves, and of course they may seem arrogant, but on the other hand. we couldn't agree more, and being so cool....

Wtf why would they have to be humble

What a freaking sound! Drastically angled to be New Wave, too disco to just be No Wave, with that insanely groovy spoken-word that reminds us of Luscious Jackson's fabulous "In Search of Manny"....

How the fuck have we managed to live this long without Neon Kittens!.
Edited in Sydney's ever-breathtaking Dsiquera Metal Postcard Records



Different Noises write

77 Talking Heads meets Parliament/Funkadelic/Bootsy Collins/Gang of Four(Solid Gold) via Yoko Ono/Deborah Evans-Stickland, with the sensibility of Slates Grotesque era Fall/James White and the Blacks/Arto Lindsay and an utter disregard for prevailing trends and fashions – thankfully.

They are called Neon Kittens and they are a breath of fresh air in a currently mundane music scene where it sometimes feels that most bands/artists learned what they do on a college course.

An amalgam of disparate influences creating something different.

Metal Postcard strike again with the debut album from the prolific York based band.

Comparable to Salem Trials, Monster Island, Bogshed etc etc

Chuffin’ brilliant chums…..

But words are not important just listen and have your perceptions of reality altered.

They have been and will be featured on Overflow and Different Noises episodes in coming weeks

What are you waiting for?
