Starbenders, Atlanta's rising stars of the glam/punk/rock'n'roll/goth underground, have released a new single, Sex. The song is the badly-behaved second cousin of Billy Idol's Rebel Yell, with a touch of Rammstein about the keyboards, and the Doctor Who theme thrown into the mix. As if that weren't enough, it's also a technicolored paean to the thrill of sexual congress.
"I almost viewed the story of the song playing out like a simulation, a video game," says lead Starbender Kimi Shelter." The goal of the game? Get some and don’t get burned. I tend to feel a lot of longing to be one of those seemingly light footed people that dance around all of the heaviness of meaning and consequence. As with most romanticisation, I realise that the grass isn’t greener but it’s fun to play with in my mind. The poet has gone rogue."
