Punk Injection!
The Anabolics will tell you "Where we came from doesn’t
matter", but sources close to Church of Girl have revealed
Marcelo (drums & vocals) originally conceived of The Anabolics
back in 1979. He dreamed of a band so rockin’ fine
they would only play arena rock in secret society basement meetings,
all-girl colleges in the Northeast & prisons. Only two
months later, Annabelle Blue (guitar + vocals) and “Anne” K
(keyboards + vocals) arrived in the states from Russia. After
a series of unfortunate events and unintended consequences, the
band literally was not heard from again until the summer of 2003
and began playing shows again that fall.
Since then, they have
played all over New York and across the US, Scandinavia, and the
South Pacific. Their live shows
are high energy and full of dancing: A blur of miniskirts, fishnets,
go-go boots, sunglasses and leather. They seem to make many
friends and enemies everywhere they go, but people do remember
them.
They recently sent us their EP, 3 on 1 and a fantastic
note bringing
us much happiness. The
bandmates take turns providing the lead vocals on the three song
EP – making
each song beautifully distinct. The songs are about exes they kicked
to the curb, people they love, people they hate, cheating, lying,
scorned lovers, and stalkers. Myriad influences are evident
including The Clash, The Shangri-Las, Cheap Trick, Sahara Hotnights,
Iggy Pop, The B-52s, and The Go-Go's.
Quirky. Punky. Rife
with potential, we are anxious for more from these Brooklyn based
porn hounds. Incidentally,
we have recently learned that Annabelle's Dad is very proud of
her and wishes she would call more often.
