'Animalia' is the debut album from a new musical
collaboration between Fetisch (Terranova),
Shapemod (Terranova) and Mack Goudy Jr. (aka Paris
The Black Fu from the Detroit Grand Pubahs) - an
electronic 'supergroup' if you will. Trading on
the trio's collective electronic influences,
'Animalia' joins the dots between electro, punk
funk, disco, indie-rock and p-funk and superbly
showcases what the trio have already been doing
live in clubs over the last 12 months - kicking it
on the dance floor.
With a trio of singles already under their belts
in the shape of 'Blazer', 'Heroine' and the album
opening 'Starwhores' The Lotterboys unique sound
is already gracing DJ sets all over the world with
Mack Goudy Jr.'s unmistakable wigged-out vocals
riding Fetisch and Shapemod's driving basslines
like a Funkadelic space party.
The Lotterboys project started when Fetisch was
messing around with the Detroit Grand Pubahs 'Big
Onion' accapella over some Pink Floyd music for a
mix he was working on for DJ Hell's Gigolo
Records. "We'd been doing some tracks for a live
project and were looking for a singer who we could
actually play live with and I just thought this
sounds perfectly spaced out," remarks Fetisch. So
the trio got together, instantly clicked and
within a blink of an eye had made two tracks and
sent them to Eskimo.
Fuelled by Eskimo's instant enthusiasm they
decided to use the name 'Lotterboys' (Terranova's
bootleg name whose origins refer to the
'Lotterboys' - a gang of swing kids who opposed
the Nazi regime in Germany with fashion and swing
music - as well as being the first people to use
two grammophones at their parties.
DJ Fetisch and Shapemod have the pedigree of
artists involved in all four corners of dance
music. Having previously released three albums and
a DJKicks! Mix on K7!, an album on Ministry
(Germany) and their Cosmonauts of Innerspace
single on Gigolo, Terranova have been at the
forefront of electronic music and art for a lot
longer than many may realise. Meanwhile Fetisch is
soon to launch his new label 'TNT' this summer
with releases including 'Bonfini' T-Nova vs The
Glimmers and 12s from Kaos, Princess Superstar,
Shapemod and an album by Snax whilst Shapemod has
just released an EP with Jamie Lidell and Snax
under the name Psycho Freak called 'Loves Too
Much' for Suicide Records and is working on a solo
album.
The Detroit Grand Pubahs mission was to introduce
you to techno music with a big pinch of funk and
an even bigger dash of raunch. 'Sandwiches' their
debut single that gained them worldwide notoriety,
became a bonefide pop hit in a number of countries
and an underground classic worldwide. Last year's
second album 'Ass Creatures From Uranus' (Poker
Flat) continued Paris's fixation with all things
rump shaped and the insane front man known for
multiple costumes and personalities, dropping his
pants to reveal nothing but a thong and shaved ass
and encouraging women to join him on stage and
hump to the funk-fueled beats is also developing
his own Det.Ele.Funk label and further artistic
collaborations.
Add these musical misfits together and you get the
punk p-funk rockin' outfit that is the Lotterboys.
From the trumpet fuelled rock of 'Blazer' and the
vocoder work out of Black Sabbath cover 'Iron Man'
to the slick Prince style funk of 'Cadillac and
Mac' and the sheer ultra-boogieness of 'Get Down
Syndrome' the Lotterboys are beamed down fresh
from planet Funk to run riot on the dancefloor.
