First review from The Oxford Punt

I just found the first review from The Oxford Punt.

It was a great gig, best fun I've had in a long time but it was a bit much having to go to work then run out, get a bus to Oxford, play, drink, then get a bus back to London. I crawled in the front door at nearly 1-00am, but it was worth it.

The Purple Turtle in Oxford was absolutely rammed full. best crowed for PISTOL KIXX yet I think.

Any how, enough waffle, here's the review:

All big hair, bandanas, tattoos and piercings, the foul-mouthed,
entertainingPistol Kixx provide the night's 'blue' in the dingy, pokey
surrounds of thePurple Turtle. Reviving the punk-rock spirit of the
likes of the Ramones and New York Dolls, the band pout, swear
and musically self-pleasure in the form
of rock legend guitar riffs, flaunting their sleazy musical
wares like some cheap tart.

PISTOL KIXX "Live in Camden Town" Review

The live EP (well actually just a two track teaser) got reviewed in the latest issue of NIGHTSHIFT. (Hopefully full ep review to follow)

Another great review, I'm not too sure I like the idea of looking, "like a bizarre cross between Hanoi Rocks and The Wurzels." even if it does make me smile, but they do pull it back and push my smile into overdrive with, " (if) you get off on the idea of Motorhead, New York Dolls and the first Motley Crue album, with songs about strip clubs and lyrics about sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, then you’ve just met your new saviours."

We don't even bribe them :-) it's just nice that somebody gets it!

Any how, here's the review in full:

When we say the best thing about Pistol

Kixx’s new demo is the accompanying

photo, we’re not being rude. It really is a

great photo. They look like a bizarre cross

between Hanoi Rocks and The Wurzels. As

for the music, they’ve reined the high

fidelity in even more than usual with a nobudget

live recording, but such is their

rough’n’raw, no-frills approach to sleazy

glam-punk, you’d barely notice the

difference. In fact, you could offer them an

entire week in Abbey Road studios and

they’d still kick it all out in fifteen minutes

with no overdubs and spend the rest of the

time necking cider and whisky and eating the

potted plants. If you’re already aware of

Pistol Kixx, you know what to expect; if

not, and you get off on the idea of

Motorhead, New York Dolls and the first

Motley Crue album, with songs about strip

clubs and lyrics about sex, drugs and

rock’n’roll, you’ve just met your new

saviours.
