    A/S/L, the debut EP from The Hillary Watts Riot, introduces the world to Freak Pop - Sonic Youth meets Hall & Oates, showered in Devo's pheromones. Nameless drones lay down funky drum and bass grooves, explosive guitar sonics, and dirty disco synth lines to back up their queen bee, Miss Hillary Watts.

    What the press is saying about The Hillary Watts Riot:

    “'Tube Top,' The Hillary Watts Riot: The first single off the band’s debut EP, 'A/S/L,' boasts perhaps the funkiest bass line in Kansas City. 'Tube Top' is a groovy, loungey song that moves into a Blondie-esque break, maintaining an unconventional but superior sense of musicianship throughout.”
    Michelle Bacon - The Kansas City Star

    “With a pinup doll look and sunglasses-at-night image, the pedal-heavy band kicks in your teeth with plenty of reverb and a chaotic sound. With glimpses of punk reflecting off the glitters of glam, the band’s sound bounces all over the place. 1990s sound bites bleed through the 1980s influences. Mixed with their witty banter, this band is entertainment at its best.”
    Joshua Hammond - The Deli

lyrics

her name is aja
she's a cat, a little cat
she is a rag doll
fifty dollars is where it's at

I know she loves me
'cause I can feel it in her teeth
and the vibrations
that rattle underneath

she shake me
she shake me
she no forsake me
she shake me

his name is Ya Ya
and he rise up from the dead
he pull the moon down
and he wear it on his head

he got a pitch fork
from his youth down on the farm
and he can use it
yeah, he can use it

he shake me
he shake me
he no forsake me
he shake me

put a little lovey in my cup
a little lovey in my cup
put a little kissy in my cup
a little kissy in my cup
put a little slap slap in my cup
a little slap slap in my cup
and shake it up

my name is sheba
and I'll teach you how to fly
just lay your head back
and you close your eyes

and then I shake you
I shake you
I no forsake you
I shake you

about

The Hillary Watts Riot image

The Hillary Watts Riot Kansas City, Missouri

Hard grooves, off-kilter rhythms, and sonic explosions underscore tales of the odd done by the strange: killer bees on a rampage; hirsute, gun-toting cadillac drivers; funky odes to tube tops; bubble boys in love.

Looking like a cross between a 1980's Pat Benatar and a prom queen, Hillary Watts fronts a band of nameless Drones. Together, they entice you into your van and drive you away. ... more
