The Sex are a four piece TRASH ROCK N' ROLL band from Tempe, AZ.

They are Kate "Sex-Mex", Spaz "Sex Leperchaun", Bobby Calabrese, and Def Jeff. They're the bastard children of The Dead Boys, Joan Jett, Johnny Thunders, Iggy Pop, Hanoi Rocks, and Motorhead. Once you hear the opening riffs of their anthem "The Sex" you are addicted like your first sip of Whiskey, first bump of Coke, or first taste of Pussy or Cock!!!!!!!! The Sex are a kick ass addition to the already prolific and filthy Trash Rock scene that has seen a gorgeous mess of great Legendary Phoenix bands like Beat Angels, Jeff Dahl Band, Slash City Daggers, Glass Heroes, Les Hell On Heels, Love Me Nots, White Demons, New Romantics, The Earps, Kill Baby Kill, The Reflection, and The Unfortunates, and a newer breed of local rockers such as 9th Street Shakedown, Dead Eyes of London, The Labor Party, Antique Scream, Strange Young Things, The Cosmeticators, The Leather Boys, and Vagina Dentata. It also is supported by DJ nights like Beatnik Scottie's Garage Au Go Go & my FAST TIMES! night @ Yucca Tap Room.

What is TRASH ROCK N' ROLL???

It all goes back to the late 60's and early 70's, when music was influenced by it's volatile surroundings in the United states. There was the Vietnam War, restless youth/ hippie culture, drugs, and the fight for civil rights. There was already a big musical movement known as the British Invasion that included The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, The Animals, the Zombies, and The Who. Then the United States saw that influence breed a bunch of American Garage/ Psychedelic Rock bands such as The Seeds, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Music Machine, Chocolate Watchband, The Count Five, The Standells, The Shadows of Knight, and The Sonics. By the mid to late 60's newer and more experimental bands like The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, MC5, and the Flamin' Groovies were being formed.

It was around 1971, the New York Dolls were formed in New York City. The band was influenced by vintage rhythm and blues, the early Rolling Stones, classic American girl group songs, and anarchic post-psychedelic bands such as the MC5 and the Stooges, as well as then-current glam rockers such as Marc Bolan. It was hard rock with a self-conscious wit, a celebration of camp and kitsch that retains a menacing, malevolent edge.



Then Glam Rock in the US/UK hit big with bands like T. Rex, Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie), Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Roxy Music, Mud, Queen, Mott the Hoople, Gary Glitter Band, Brian Eno and Suzi Quatro. Then a bunch of Hard Rock bands like Aerosmith, KISS, Starz, Angel, Cheap Trick, Humble Pie, Nazareth, AC/DC were making wavesin the United States known for the harder riffs and big arena rock stage shows.

By 1974-75 kids in America were getting tired of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Yes, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd, and being influenced by their late 60's Garage Rock records (ie. The Standells, The Sonics, The Seeds, The Music Machine, etc.), proto punk bands like MC5, The Stooges, The Flamin' Groovies, The Pink Fairies, and Velvet Underground. The Ramones and The Dictators were one of the first American bands that were leading the Punk flag in the States. Overseas The 101ers, The Clash, Sex Pstols, The Damned, The Buzzcocks, and Generation X were startins a commotion in London clubs. By 1980, Punk filtered into New Wave and started becoming mainstream and was being played on the radio with bands like Blondie, The Pretenders, Adam & the Ants, and Siouxsie & the Banshees.

In 1980-84, a band called Hanoi Rocks came out of Finland, to change the whole world of Rock, and turn it's bloated multi-platinum AOR radio friendly music on it's head. By that time over exposed bands like Foreigner, Loverboy, Journey, Rush, and The Police were ruining US Rock radio with it's safe formula rock. Hanoi Rocks came out at a time when the only exciting musical forms were Hardcore Punk and New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Hanoi Rocks combined the bad boy swagger of the Rolling Stones, the Trashy glam look from New York Dolls and Iggy & The Stooges, the melody and pop hooks from Cheap Trick and Power Pop, and the sneer and aggressive playing style from '77 Punk. They played through out the UK and Europe, and recorded five studio albums, and one live one, until Razzle (their drummer) died in a car crash (by the hands of negligent Vince Neil of Motley Crue) in 1984. Hanoi rocks carried on with Topper Headon (of The Clash) for a year later, but disbanded shortly after.






Other bands that were similar to Hanoi Rocks came out at the same time were UK band Girl (feat. Phil Lewis who went on to LA Guns and Phil Collen of Def Leppard), and Baltimore's KIX. Both bands were very important to TRASH ROCK N' ROLL (of the 80's) and SLEAZE ROCK scenes of now.

Trash On Delivery Compilation (1983) Flickknife Records

TRASH ON DELIVERY was the BEST Glam/Trash compilation ever to come out! It was released on Flicknife Records in London around 1983. I was just a young teenager in love with Hanoi Rocks when I got it. I lost it when I was a little older moving from one trashy apartment to the other. But I finally downloaded thanx to an amazing Sleaze Roxx messageboard member.
