Sexy Sushi on TW's MySpace

＜English＞

Translated by K.T.

Hello everybody, editor Yuki here!

Earlier this month I announced that Tokyo Wrestling is featuring queer artists and queer-related songs on our MySpace page. Well, we've just updated!

Well, to follow the music of the super queer electro duo Scream Club from the US, we now have an electro punk duo called Sexy Sushi from France. The brilliance behind the band comes from Reby Combat and Mitch Silver, who have been the focus of a whirlwind of attention in France and Europe for their punchy lyrics, dark wit, and electro punk music videos.

While Sexy Sushi is not a queer outfit per se, Reby -- who also belongs to girl band Mansfield.TYA (where she goes by the name Julia Lanoe) -- is a tough, dykey type who’s into bikes and boxing. And the band is an electro punk revelation, with politically provocative lyrics and hot, trashy live performances. Employing a healthy dose of parody -- a style of expression that the French practically invented -- their songs don’t shy away from political themes.

On Tokyo Wrestling's MySpace page you'll find Sexy Sushi's song "Sex Appeal" -- a tune we chose for its in-your-face girl-on-girl lyrics, which are a bit too explicit to describe in detail here, but I can give you a hint. The song is about a woman who's hot for a female cop and takes her home for a little love action. A parody of lesbian porn made for straight guys? Even so, you wouldn't want your parents to hear this (if they speak French, that is)!

Even if you don't understand the French lyrics, this is one cool tune, and the husky vocals don’t hurt either. Check it out, and then check out some of their other songs: nothing beats hot, French electro punk!! Personally, I also love a song of theirs that gives a serve to French politician Rachida Dati, known to many in France as "the female Sarkozy." How about you?
