Tokyo meets San Francisco meets New York City meets Venus. Godzilla meets John Cage meets Princess Grace. Noise meets Noise meets Cabaret. PantyChrist is New York City drag queen and performance diva extraordinaire Justin Bond, Tokyo’s premiere noise DJ Otomo Yoshihide and San Francisco sampling genius Bob Ostertag -- all under one splendiferous roof. This CD is pretty fuckin’ weird and is absolutely queer in every dimension, including some we didn’t even know existed!
Justin Bond is a drag legend in NYC and San Francisco. She’s post-modern, post-drag, post-performance. Leaking glamour like an overheated radiator and doing cabaret performed as urban warfare, Justin is most notorious for fighting with Madonna at her own birthday party. "Lick my leg, I’m on fire!!"
Otomo Yoshihide has spent years at the cutting edge of Tokyo’s noise underground -- collaborating with Yamatsuka Eye, the Boredoms, leading his own groups Ground Zero and ISO, and making Hong Kong kung fu film sound tracks.
Bob Ostertag has been at the forefront of electronic sound since the late 1970s. He has released more than a dozen CD’s and records of his compositions, leads his own touring ensemble, Say No More. His previous collaborators include avant garders John Zorn and Fred Frith, dyke punk star Lynn Breedlove, rock star Mike Patton, the Kronos Quartet, Anthony Braxton and more. Bob has a bunch of solo CDs available on Seeland.
