With their Revenge of Kero Kero, Ex-Girl are like a deranged, full-on cross between the delinquent tendencies of Shampoo, Cibo Matto or Les Mystere De Voix Bulgares and someone all spiky and fierce--Scotland's post-Riot Grrrls Lungleg or The Slits. Sedate, this is not. Imagine a female trio from Japan with a fondness for Western kitsch, 60s flower-power dresses, toy frogs and the synthetic Casio electro-beat of Sonic Youth off-shoot Ciccone Youth. This is their first English album and--boy does it rock! Songs like "Disco 3000" and "Puyo" are intensified to the millionth degree: gleeful, anarchic, raw, wails of mess and schizophrenic glory. Ex-Girl's version of the James Brown chestnut "Sex Machine" is twice as sexy and 30 times as revolutionary as even Atari Teenage Riot. Hear once and forever fall in love. --Jerry Thackray
