Nasty International
[Touch and Go]
Rating: 9.8
Look, I don't care how many times this band says, "We're just playing
music here," and "It's so degrading to have our band repeatedly described
as 'sexy' by the press," because that's all Nasty International is, baby
-- down to the grunts and groans of Girls Against Boys' frontman Scott McCloud
and bassman Johnny Temple. This is the jazz side project of McCloud and
Temple, joined by a chorus of rainy day saxaphones and smoky bar piano.
