The Rapscallions
My first impression as a youth going to see bands in the NYC circuit was somewhat bland. I found myself mostly unimpressed in the Brooklyn area where apparently every gobshite with a pair of skinny jeans and an acoustic guitar is entitled to perform. Dreadful sessions of deep felt chords and endless boo-hooing about God knows what really don't seem right to me. I understand that it is each to it's own but, Jasus where is the substance?
Of course a band is just a moment of entertainment and that is that but how much can an entertainer really contribute to recession and lack of hope when the entertainer has something relevant to say and to do.
With the lack of football hooliganism and trainer culture a man has to find something to do and forget about the miserable world . Sinister escapism.
Be yourself and forget about what the ken of cunts dictate you. It's just like deciding by yourself to be an individual and stop following the rest of the yellow bellied sheep.
I can't even remember how many times I have stood in some pub queue while waiting to buy a fucken pint, listening to some skuzzy little blumfluff ironic moustache, in the faux effeminate style that has become hip amongst many of these gimps, complaining about irrelevant things. Praising equally irrelevant tendencies. Drinking equally irrelevant booze…
Then a band comes along with the proper minerals. The bleedin Voxys…The songs, the fucked up accents, the positive energy of their anger giving them a fearsome strength to slug it out with any cunt out there.
The Scratcher is one of the few places in NYC where they pour a proper Guinness. Why not for once say Go On and do it…in the infinite words of wisdom of Tommy Johnson (and NOT danny dyer)… "What else are you gonna do on a Sunday night? Sit in your fuckin' armchair wankin' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? Fuck that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do. Manhattan away, The Voxys acoustic…. love it!"

The Voxys play the 205 Club NYC
We're playing the 205 Club, Friday September 5th at 9pm.
We're sharing the bill with Peephole and Johnny Jitters.
Cover: $8
205 Club (Lower East Side, NYC)
Warhol's non-stop avant garde party is revived in a space decked out in salvaged, duct-taped mid-century modern couches, applique chairs and tin foil-clad walls. Behind the camo-colored bar (held up by office filing cabinets), doorless refrigerators stand in for shelves. The scene attracts everyone from stylish 24-year-olds to people who rocked-out in the original Factory. In the rowdiness-ready, plywood-clad basement, personal ads scrawled floor-to-ceiling illuminate the city's many fetishes.
