Yeah, 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' acapella, followed by the Journey favourite 'Don't Stop Believing I Enjoy Smashing An Iron Off Your Face'.

Tee hee.

:up:

Never joke with me about Journey. Just don't. I will never stop believing. Also, do you have a new number because the message I got from you the other day wasn't recognised on my phone. Min.

Kunt and the Gang: One Last Wank and One Last Cry

Type: Album

Release Date: 05/04/08

Label: Disco Minge

Luke Slater

Where to start with Kunt and the Gang is the question, and one which isn't particularly easy to answer. The name is probably the best starting point, as it's amazingly the least offensive part of the Basildon duo, who somehow make The Bloodhoundgang's lyrical content seem almost angelic. One Last Wank and One Last Cry is an opus of offensiveness, perhaps almost a masterpiece in a genre which doesn't really exist.

It is partly the fact that Kunt and the Gang are backed by hideously primitive MIDI instrumentation which makes them somewhat amusing. I mean, if there were actual guitars, a real drum-kit and not some sub GCSE standard Casio keyboard backing tracks then it would make it seem like they were almost being serious, and the whole shtick would just fall apart. With Kunt and the Gang there is no chance to misconstrue risqu lyrics into innuendo, because there is no innuendo, it's flat out vulgarity. Not that you'd expect anything else from an album name like this.

This album is pasted with songs about wanking, wanking over Carol Vorderman, wanking on the internet and bizarre sexual practices. Add to that songs about facial fuzz, nether-region fuzz and illegally downloading music being equivalent to paedophilia, then you have a musical exhibition in the permanently perverted.

"There's a lot of perverts on the interne/ trying to chat up girls and get their ding-dongs wet" declares Kunt on 'Perverts On The Internet'. True enough, but this is no crude-social commentary for the masses as Kunt admits to being one of the aforementioned perverts, but "don't tell his mum/ because if she finds out then he's gonna get done!" a Kate Nash sound-alike (Kate Gash perhaps?!) chirps.

'Men With Beards (What Are They Hiding?)' looks at what Harold Shipman, Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire ripper/ he avoided the use of a razor or clipper) and Osama Bin Laden are concealing behind their facial forests. Perhaps the most outright nasty lyric, and there's an album's worth to choose from, is reserved for 'The Illegal Download Song', where Kunt warns that when downloading one of their tracks illegally "A little baby cries a tear of blood from his Jap's eye".

The tracks on display range from ridiculously crude to actually quite amusing, in a horrible way, of course. The penultimate track 'Carol Vorderman' is without doubt the one that tickles me pink, though it leaves me feeling guilty for laughing at this puerile banter. 'Use My Arsehole As A Cunt' is at the other end of the scale, for reasons I need not state.

Kunt and the Gang's purpose is as simple as the music. It's an exercise in the very high end of musical indecency, seemingly for its own sake. Kunt And The Gang are unlikely to get anywhere near any TV performances (barring perhaps a residency on Eurotrash) or sell many records, so it's not in the interests of "pushing the boundaries". What is it in the interest of though? Not much really, but if you're going to make a novelty band or a novelty record, you may as well try and do what nobody else has done before. I'm pretty sure Kunt And The Gang succeed in that aspect.

4/5

is this music? Kunt and the Gang

Kunt and the Gang: One Last Wank and One Last Cry

Even if the Kunts were too tight to release the full album to the press- this review is based on a bundled CD featuring the greatest hits from the earlier albums in the 'Wank and Cry' Trilogy- 'One Last Wank and One Last Cry' is another future playground classic, destined to be furtively swapped round the back of the bike sheds or slipped on at adolescent house parties. There is a hint of maturity this time around, with a song about bearded men straying from the usual masturbation gags, but only a hint. A self-pitying rant about illegal downloading still manages to reference baby genitals and stalking.

Kunt and the Gang do have one trick. The perfect pastiches of eighties pop, performed on a bontempi organ, have a clearer sense of melody than most of the top forty. Kunt sings with the combined earnestness of the entire Open University staff about sex and serial killers. Rarely breaking the three minute mark, each song is remarkable both for the exact parody of pop abandon and filthy imagination.

Of course, they are hugely offensive and hugely funny in equal proportion. Kunt's straight-faced delivery and infectious good humour- he can talk about posting obscene material on Facebook while retaining his innocence- sets him above the standard crude comedian. Despite the cheap production, the tunes are pretty danceable, too. Never likely to be more than cult material, their insouciance vulgarity does undercut the pomposity of rock's claims to high art and importance.

4/5

The Skinny Live Review...

Kunt and the Gang @ 13th Note :: The Skinny

Kunt and the Gang at 13th Note, Glasgow

A tsunami of filth as obscene as his name implies, obsessed with genitalia, sexual perversion, excrement and Carol Vorderman

Unlike most scatological one-man bands, Kunt and the Gang isn't leery: every song is delivered with the nave enthusiasm of a primary school teacher. Armed with a rudimentary backing track, a hand puppet and a knack for parodying 80s pop melodies, Kunt quickly has the crowd singing along and laughing hysterically. God forbid that his numbers reach his natural audience in the playground: children singing Feminine Itch or The Worst Thing in the World would cause a greater moral panic than rising house prices or immigration in certain tabloids. His set is short and sweet enough to keep the humour fresh: whether he is paying tribute to friendship on Fred and Rose or warning against wearing white with an upset stomach, Kunt miraculously comes across as a pleasant young man who just happens to enjoy swearing, masturbating over ladies on television and offering himself to celebrities.

i love how even when we are putting on a gig we still go on first because it gives us more time for us (me) to get drunk hahaha..

I'm really looking forward to this. All of it. Should be a thoroughly good night.

Having never been to the East Nuke (this i feel, is how it should be spelled) I'm interested in whether they have a good selection of malts, mind you I'll nae doubt scrape by on Bells or Famous Grouse. Needs must,

---- no talking will be tolerated during our set. You'll have to shout the insults....
