About This Item
In the most exciting musical event of 2023, Oakland punk pranksters Gravy Train!!!! re-issue their debut LP Hello Doctor on it's 20th anniversary. Lumped in with the electroclash genre of the early aughts, Gravy Train!!!'s music draws from so much more, collecting in a delicious puddle of theatrical new wave, vintage bubble-glam, chipmunk punk, and organ-driven surf rock over dimestore beats that NEVER quit. From band origin story InchHella NervousInch to queer anthem InchYou Made Me GayInch to the ONLY ode to fast food and motherhood InchBurger BabyInch, the hits are all here, and they sound shockingly fresh to this day. The band's wild, hilarious, and totally unique style is the work of singer/lyricist Chunx, keyboardist Funx, and singer/keyboardist Hunx (also featured former dancer Drunx, later replaced by Junx). Known for their exhilarating live shows chock full of stunts and shenanigans, Gravy Train!!!!'s magic is also captured on this LP, placing them squarely in rock herstory somewhere between riot grrrl, the B52's, LaBouche, and Jingle Cats. But Pitchfork said it best when they gave Hello Doctor a legendary 2.9 , calling it Inchkinda funnyInch, Inchcertainly not great musicInch with a Inchweird innocence.Inch If that's not iconic, NOTHING is!!!A1.
