The Zen Hussies
Last seen making a daring escape from the infernal wreckage of their Hillman Superminx Estate on a deserted country lane in Somerset, (Crimestoppers, Feb 2002) those guys and gal so adept at maiming notes, have been lying doggo lately due to the controversey caused by their latest release 'Wrap Me Up In Bubblewrap & Slap Me on The Bap' (Flange0023/X). Which is believed to have incited binges of Irn Bru swilling and the recent heist of several pounds worth of confectionary jewellery from the Bath Humbug Shop.
Since their formation on 2001 this band has swelled to a mighty nine full time members playing twice as many instruments, all necessary to concoct the heady cocktail of song and dance they like to call 'goodtime swingska boogaloo'.
WHAT DO THE LADIES THINK?
'The Zen Hussies play a strange original music that has been known to cause people to dance and sing along. The brass weaves and lumbers like the Mighty Behemoth, the rhythm almost caused me to spill my beer, but before I knew it, I too had been swept up into their anarchic fervour, and was singing along about Green Faeries, big dippers, wunderbras and British Fortified Wine. The gyrating pelvis of guitarist and lead singer Mr Jonah Flatfoot Esq excited in me a degree of lechery unfelt since last Tuesday. The whirling dervish in me was unleashed to the joyous strains of the trumpet and saxophone, as they romped thru such classic yiddish stomps as 'A Glazele Yash', I thought I had sweated my last before relief came in the form of their beautifully sentimental 'Spendthrift Ways', I found myself esconced in a dark corner with a gentleman who appeared to be of Persian origin, and discovered the true marvel of the slow foxtrot. The double bass rattled my nether regions in a way that seemed to unbridle all my sense of restraint, and we were swept high but not dry to the distant plains of Tarturus, where Absinthe and Cucumber sandwiches where distributed by the eunochs of this transcendental harim.I must return to see them again.for they were five and yet they were one, and they burnt as bright as the august sun.'
Hermione Greensleeves, Le Parisien.
