Listening to Let's Be Friendly With Our Friends (1996) by Sta-prest
The band first made its appearance on the queercore record label Outpunk Records, on its compilation Outpunk Dance Party. Soon afterwards they released their first EP, Vespa Sex, also on Outpunk, followed later by a 7" single. Like other bands influenced by the nascent Riot Grrrl scene in Olympia, Washington, New York No Wave, and European post-punk, core members of Sta-Prest - Aloofah (Iraya Robles), Dudley Manlove (Gary Fembot), and Professor Swish (Mark Bishop) - adopted pseudonyms, swapped instruments between songs, and practiced a consensus-based approach to song composition. A revolving membership included Tetley, Twi Tybat, Clutch-y-Spun, and Scout. Their avant-pop sound and combination of male and female vocals were unique in the Queercore scene. [source]
Sta-Prest - Let's Be Friendly With Our Friends
Let's Be Friendly With Our Friends I hardly know anyone who reflects the population in my head Time Capsule / Storage / Dead End Past or current acquaintances I've cut some maintenances I am a half and half Won't be explaining myself to you Let's be friendly with our friends Caucasoid Centric conditions Casual disrespect "Explore unusual other cultures" Uh huh I see.. Mm-hmm oh.. I see You... So Aware but my I.D. is your Novelty and now I know you're one of the Good Ones It's hard to be sharing and caring now Please teach me more about me Whitey Alrighty-Titey Whitey? Let's be friendly with our friends Don't even bother with them Those Ironic Types? No And now I know I'm going to go off It's hard to be speaking to you now I'm tired of having to Decode Decode Decode Everything you say Again.
STA-PREST are prone to flights of fancy as their music is definitely on stand by. Without notice they take the listener to some nether region of fluffy clouds & cushy pillows all made of marshmallow cement. Many of their audiences have been lulled into a false sense of security by their seemingly innocuous neurotic manner but come unhinged when between song banter turns to stories of home made tampons, pickle lust & Jean Smith. A Mrs. H. Owens-Yates of Long Beach CA was quoted as saying "If I didn't know better I'd say I was just wiped with a queer sort of moist towlette. I'd like to give them all a good spanking!" Oh you naughty thing.
