Toss pop, punk, disco and a whole lot of Astroglide into a Cuisinart, repeatedly press "Pulse," then dump on top of a mustache orgy -- now you've got the recipe for Ssion. The infectious music from this Kansas City art-school crew (pronounced "shun") comes complete with a multimedia carnival of the queer, combining conceptual punk with cartoonish costumes and videos in a stage show that would've left Fellini slack-jawed. The group is building up a head of steam on the heels of a tour with CSS and high praise from Pitchfork Media, but that's all gravy when the main course is having fun.Lawrence's Coat Party is a kick-ass, electro punk, female-fronted dance explosion. Armed with merely two mics, bass, syths and drums, the quartet kicks out sweet jams a la Le Tigre, Peaches and/or The Blow.
