    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

don't want no girlie in a woolie sweater
it makes me surly when I surely try to pet her
don’t want my honey in a linen dickie
I pay good money to stroke my little chickie

if you love me you better give me all your heart
if you love me you know you got to dress the part

don’t want no booty in a gansta hoodie
it makes me moody when i need to love my cutie
don’t want my packet in a North Face jacket
I just can’t hack it when the lord moves me to smack it

if you love me you better give me all your heart
if you love me you know you got to dress the part

tube top
up top
whatcha got?
tube top

tube top
up top
ya can’t stop
tube top

don’t want my biscuit in a leather vest now
i just can’t risk it got to get it off your chest now
wanna be my hoochie? mama, lose the Gucci
I got some muffin-toppin’ stuffin’, say, “coochie coochie”

if you love me you better give me all your heart
if you love me you know you got to dress the part

about

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.
