The mixed gender guitar/drum duo is
soooo 1999. And sorry to be the one to say this, but
man lipstick and striped tights doesn't make you Kurt Weill. The only twosome catching my interest (be they brother/sister or not) is
Deadboy & The Elephantmen, if only because they retreat into softer, quieter corners (on tracks such as
No Rainbow,
Dressed In Smoke and
Walking Stick) where even
Exene Cervenka and
John Doe were too afraid to hide. Even better, when they finally do decide to rock out (
Kissed By Lightening), it's as if they're setting their big hairy balls to music. (Yes, I'm well aware one of the members is a female--that's why God invented strap-on testicles.)
