Crazy Mary carries the flame for a time when downtown Manhattan was at its post-punk apex - gritty, smart, artful, edgy and sexy, before its soul was taken over by corporations and developers. But true to the ideals of the era from which they emerged, the band remains fully engaged with the modern, eschewing sentimentality and nostalgia. Their new album, Nuclear Lipstick, carries their music forward (with new members) and keeps their melange of psychedelia, world/tribal music and Velvet Underground inspired No-Wave very much alive and well.
Crazy Mary is like that Wonderful Brown Sauce you see ...
