THE SEXUAL OBJECTS ( Scotland / Creeping Bent / Aktion Und Spass Records )

Fronted by ex Fire Engines,Win and Nectarine No.9 frontman Davey Henderson, Scotland's THE SEXUAL OBJECTS pay a special visit to the Star And Shadow in support of their long awaited LP 'Cucumber', which in part, boasts production duties from cult Warp Records duo BOARDS OF CANADA.

'A frighteningly assured amalgam of freakbeat, garage, glam and east coast ...cool. Henderson and co are still the best rock’n’roll band on this or any other planet' - The List

'Henderson spews a languid croon that sounds like Bob Dylan in the mid-sixties over an appealing Bolan-esque boogie, glamming it up like a reverbless Jesus & Mary Chain, the whole history of Scots pop flowing through their veins' - Basement Scam

'Like Marc Bolan dreaming a glam Eno song with cut-up lyrics, dolled up in pop perfume' - Uncut : 4/5

'Here Come The Rubber Cops has the attractively louche narcotic drawl of Lou Reed, and sounds like Prince taking on The Only Ones. You can hear a bit of Marquee Moon’s apocalypse – the darkness doubling, lightning striking itself – too' - Fire Ecape Talking
