Seks Bomba has been a Boston favorite since the mid-90s. The band developed an intense following playing a mix of high-speed instro rock, Mancini and Bacharach covers, and something called surf-spy-lounge rock for lack of a better phrase. Despite the retro influences, the bands sound is loud and rockin (except for the occasional bossa when its soft and gentle).
The band won a Boston Music Award in 1999 and toured mostly around the northeast for several years. The best place to catch them was and always will be the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA where their packed shows would have people literally dancing on the tables.
Seks Bomba has just released their 3rd full-length CD. "Thanks and Goodnight" is now available at bomba.com. The almost all instrumental album features high-flying instro pop, old school soul grooves, some jazziness, some jamingness, and everything you've come to expect from the undisputed kings of surf-spy-lounge rock!
Thanks for being friends with THE SAVAGE SCIENCE!! "Tango" is a dominant song and I'm going to make everyone I know buy it by threatening to kick their ass if they don't....

Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm
HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:
Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.
If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.
If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su
