Heavily influenced by the 80s, this proud-to-be-Eurotrash band of lovers consists of the dark and brooding Brit Chaz Kourday, the Californian charmer Lonni Bahls, and the Aussie blonde bombshell Georgia Haege.
Since they erupted onto the scene in July 2008, they've been spreading the seeds of lust all over New York and are gearing up for a much-anticipated European tour. If you haven't heard of them yet, brace yourselves; you're about to.
The music of Whore's Mascara has been described as "post-electroclash neue wave eurotrash campy dirty dance party," and Michael Musto called them the "sardonically fun underground band heading mainstream" in his Village Voice column.
Whore's Mascara has graced the stages of such NYC venues as Joe's Pub, Irving Plaza, The Gershwin Hotel, The Mercury Lounge, The Zipper Factory, The Delancey, Luna Lounge, Don Hill's, Piano's, Dixon Place, The Javits Center, The Slipper Room, Vlada, and The Ritz. They won the 2008 Glammy Award for Best Duo or Group and the 2010 Pill Award for Best Newcomer.
In the fall of 2009, they were also the Featured Artists at Andy Warhol's 80th Birthday Bash Celebration, thrown by Billy Name and Warhol Superstars at the Chelsea Hotel.
ABOUT THE MUSIC:
Produced and co-written by master-beater Electronathan, Whore's Mascara's debut album LIKE THIS BUT SEXY is the perfect bedside companion, featuring lush electro-pop beats and over-the-top lyrics sure to seduce even the most elusive objects of desire.
In October 2009, the band released MONOGAMOUS, their newest single. Their music video for MONOGAMOUS was directed by legendary fashion photographer Patrik Andersson (French, Italian, and American Vogue).
In 2010, Whore's Mascara was selected by Fuse TV as one of the Best Unsigned Bands of the Year. MONOGAMOUS was subsequently featured on Fuse, MTV2, Spike TV, and LOGO.
Here's what other critics have said about us after we left them breathless and begging for more:
"With musical roots in 1980s electro-pop, Whore's Mascara's live acts feature darkly comedic riffs on everything from political figures to Manhattan club culture - with enough puns and double entendres to make a whore blush." ----Paper Magazine
"Mixing pop-perfection female vocals, an American male accent and a Noel Coward-esque English gentleman accent, Whore's Mascara sing as if they're in conversation, taking the piss out of each other and egging each other on to divulge more information on their sexual conquests. It's fabulous stuff; the kind of provocative pop that makes the Scissor Sisters look like nuns." ----reFRESH Magazine
"The Fugazi of post-electroclash." ---- Vice Magazine
"Lust, love, desire, pansexuality, it's all there....Onstage, Whore's Mascara radiates passion and unapologetic perversion. The trio belt out a set of cheeky crowd pleasers as the Whorettes, a relatively new addition to their live shows, bump and grind atop five foot speakers in six inch heels. The album is a dizzying electro-pop orgy, equal parts B-52s and Scissor Sisters." ---- John Russell, HX Magazine
"This sexed-up singing group has a fab new video for their catchy song 'All I Want.'" ----Time Out New York
"Beat beauties Whore's Mascara offers a glammed and gorgeous performance...mop up that drool!"----Next Magazine
"Downtown's Current It Band...These whores are certainly worth the price. They're definitely all that we want! " ----HX Magazine
"Whore's Mascara is one of those acts that is difficult to describe to friends without getting a little confused yourself. Is it music? Performance art? Comedy? An intellectual exploration of the darkest corners of your sexual psyche? A wild ride that leaves you feeling breathless and a bit molested? The answer is wonderfully, dizzyingly, and confoundingly all of the above...reminding you that sometimes it is only in the deep folds of incisive wit that the truth can be found." ----Noize Magazine
"The irreverent, campy presentation of the B-52s, the New Wave sound of The Human League and The Pet Shop Boys, the feisty sensibilities of The Scissor Sisters, Peaches, and the New Young Pony Club. In other words, totally new & totally now." ----Us, last night, when we were totally wasted.
