Hunx and His Punx might be the first ever "girl group" fronted by a flamboyant gay male whose dream in life is to sound like a girl. They have created a unique new sound they refer to as "Young Oldies", a mixture of 50s teenage rock n roll, 60s girl groups and bubblegum pop.
How awesome does that sound? They are like Ramones meets The Supremes or The Shirelles. So good. They just released a video of one of my favorite tracks called "Lovers Lane." Seth Bogart and Shannon Shaw's are right on in this track.
