I honestly thought this was the Go-Go’s. Really, that should be considered a compliment. I even have a friend that drums in a Go-Go’s cover band. High praise, indeed.
The title track has it all: backing harmonies, keyboards and claps. But as if that weren’t enough there are 11 other tracks too. “In the City” has a similar melody to “Friendship Station” by Le Tigre, but there is no anger with these gals.
“Love Me Back” has a bit of a harder edge, but it’s still not angry. It does give one pause as to whether these women ever strike fear into anybody, because it seems that they are too busy having a good time. “Gotta Crush” is not about the Incredible Hulk. It does have a lot of ’60s girl group style to it and tramples a bit on the shtick that the Pipettes tried to make a living doing. It seems safe to say that Cocktail Slippers have a little more talent than they do.
“Anything You Want” has the same nyeah-nyeah vocals that Bangs were famous for. And the chorus sounds like something Marianne Pillsbury would belt.
