Biography
The Bastard Fairies could be termed an oxymoron. If this is the case then their music is most definitely oxymoronic. Naughty but nice, sweet and sour, beautifully macabre, wonderfully morose; like a baby with a razor blade, this collection of 17 songs from Memento Mori will hug you then cut you with no warning.
Lead singer Yellow Thunder Woman, fiercely intelligent and clearly disturbed is that baby, assigned to take you through the many trials of life and understand that, no matter who you are, or where you've come from, we are all f**ked up and twisted and each of us a bastard fairy in our own little way. She is Native American, a direct descendant of the Great Ponca Chief Standing Bear, an Indian princess and member of the Yankton Sioux. In the Lakota language Sioux means snake in the grass and Yellow Thunders inner soul is just that. She's the sort of girl who you could take to meet your ultra conservative, Christian parents and appear to them to be the most perfect sweet little thing. Then, just when you think you're safe, up jumps that snake and bites into your mothers neck. Injecting her central nervous system with venomous tales of how to give great blow jobs and having extra marital affairs. But before you know it, she's served up an antidote of pure cute and all fallacious thoughts are gone. However, be aware that like herpes of the mouth it lurks in the shadows of one's conscience waiting to strike and there is no cure.
The album 'Memento Mori,' (a Latin phrase that calls for awareness of ones mortality), embodies 17 songs recorded and written in the most part during an intense week long stint. Utilizing the simplicity of the 'free with a Mac' recording package 'Garageband', paired with a musical instrument collection built of cheap guitars and children's toys mischievously plucked from the cluttered shelves of Goodwill, Memento Mori is a trip through the many nuances of everyday people leading everyday lives. This is no reality show edited for consumption of a demographic diluted by the ideals of a script doctor looking for sensationalist story lines, this is a collection of the twisted tales of twisted minds. The recounting of repetitive compulsions in the OCD-laden 'Habitual Inmate' or the promiscuous honesty of 'The Boy Next Door' set the tone for a collection of compositions where no subject is taboo. The sweet melodies coupled with the lo-fi pop sensibilities of multi instrumentalist and partner in crime Robin Davey create a musical landscape that eases you through Yellow Thunder Woman's lyrical observances and passion for the darker side of worldly workings.
Life is very short and death is very long so come on friends let's embrace our own little peculiarities and become part of the Bastard Fairy family.
