I'M FEELING A LITTLE GUILTY ABOUT WHAT I SAID ABOUT DRAG QUEENS. I WAS FEELING OVERWHELMED WITH EXCITEMENT ABOUT FINALLY DISCOVERING WEIRD QUEERS BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO A SORT OF TRITE MUSICAL EXPRESSION.
THE LAPTOP ARTIST SINGING ABOUT SEX STUFF IS SO REDUNDANT. AND THEN THERE IS NO BRA. NO BRA IS SUZANNE OBERBECK: A MUSICIAN AND PERFORMANCE ARTIST WHO IS DESTROYING ALL OF THIS. HER WORK RE-EVALUATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEXUALITY AND CAPITALISM BY WAY OF A CREEPY BARELY CLAD DEADPAN PERFORMANCE THAT IS BOTH UNSETTLING AND HILARIOUS.
HERE SHE IS IN A MUSIC VIDEO FOR HER HIT SINGLE "MUNCHHAUSEN".[GERMANS ARE REALLY ETHIOPIANS DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE!]
SHE'S BEEN FREAKING OUT EUROPEAN AUDIENCES FOR A WHILE NOW AND RUMOUR HAS IT SHE IS HEADED NORTH AMERICAN WAY. SHE EVEN TOURED AN OPENING SLOT FOR THE GOSSIP WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN FOR HER LIKE AN ETERNITY OF THE PERIOD SCENE IN "CARRIE".
HER ALBUM "DANCE AND WALK" IS OUT ON ROUGH TRADE U.K. YOU NEED IT.
