Weird Party - Honey Slides 7”

Yep, you folks get another one from Texas this week, this time from the Houston area in the form of the debut single from Weird Party out on Sex & Death Records. Containing former members of Fatal Flying Guilloteens and Sugar Shack, I’ve seen them described as some sort of super group. I don’t know about that, but I sure as shit loved me some Fatal Flying Guilloteens, so knowing that certainly raised my interest some. I think I may have a Sugar Shack album somewhere too, but I honestly can’t remember a whole lot about it, sorry guys. But moving on, Weird Party bring a bit of straight up punk ‘n roll with the two cuts featured here that’s vaguely reminiscent of the earlier FFG material.  But all in all this stays within the garagy punk roots that some of these guys have found themselves in and out of in the past.  However, the overall vibe on this is more supercilious and one that especially comes through on the b-side “Sarah Palin”, not that I’m opposed to that in any way. Two solid enough tracks to be found, and ones that leave me holding out hope that they can hold it together long enough for an LP. We’ll see.
