The Bastard Fairies could be termed
an oxymoron. If this is the case
then their music is most definitely
oxymoronic. Naughty but nice, sweet
and sour, beautifully macabre,
wonderfully morose. Like a baby with
a razor blade, it'll hug you then
cut you with no warning. Lead singer
Yellow Thunder Woman, fiercely
intelligent and clearly disturbed is
that baby, assigned to take you
through the many trials of life and
understand that, no matter who you
are, or where you've come from, we
are all f**ked up and twisted and
each of us a bastard fairy in our
own little way. She is Native
American, a direct descendant of the
Great Ponca Chief Standing Bear, an
Indian princess and member of the
Yankton Sioux. In the Lakota
language Sioux means snake in the
grass and Yellow Thunders inner soul
is just that. She's the sort of girl
who you could take to meet your
ultra conservative, Christian
parents and appear to them to be the
most perfect sweet little thing.
Then, just when you think you're
safe, up jumps that snake and bites
into your mothers neck. Injecting
her central nervous system with
venomous tales of how to give great
blow jobs and having extra marital
affairs. But before you know it,
she's served up an antidote of pure
cute and all fallacious thoughts are
gone. However, be aware that like
herpes of the mouth it lurks in the
shadows of one's conscience waiting
to strike and there is no cure. Life
is very short and death is very long
so come on friends lets embrace our
own little peculiarities and become
part of the Bastard Fairy family.
