Catcall

My bandmate Vicent Coolier (just made legal) hipped me to this track.
A few years ago (guess it was 2006) Kiosk from Sydney came out to the US and did a bit of touring. I still have one 7" of theirs that I think is quite good (the CD didn't do as much for me). They played the crazy final show/party at Club Short with Finally Punk, xbxrx, and Paradise Island and I was busy with trying to clean the last bit of random stuff out of the basement and wondering why the hell we were having a show when we were supposed to be out the next day - it was also being referred to many as an "eviction party" and the rumor was that the hosue was being demolished anyway, so no one seemed apologetic for snapping the metal railing off the side stairs. I could do an entire series of Club Short posts, but i will refrain for now.
Point being - Kiosk played one of the first Bus shows (in front of Mama Buzz), the last house show at my place, and were rumored to sign to Kill Rock Stars before going back to Australia and breaking up. I've seen Jack a few times since, but i did not know what the rest of the band was up to till just now.
The vocal stylings on this song are very removed from the hoarse riot grrl styled screams that Kiosk traded in, but both the video and song are pleasant surprises. Catcallis the project, the nausea inducing video (perhaps a camera inside a plastic hamster ball?) is directed by Warran Wright of the enigmatic Moop Jaw. I can't vouch for the rest of her material, but this song is really catchy, and confirms my unacknowledged recent softening towards mainstream female fronted pop (Santogold and I've come around to Feist). Enjoy.
