Album Notes

"raw, sex-positive hyper-beings"
-Ani DiFranco

Bitch and Animal are a hyper-animated duo of beat-savvy, verse-spoutin' multi-instrumentalists who react to their surroundings by writing and performing sexually energized songs that move butts and bust guts, using drums, violins, ukuleles and anything else they can get their hands on. They're exactly the kind of act you won't find on commercial radio or MTV, even though the world would be a much happier place if you could. Sour Juice and Rhyme, (co-produced by the band and June Millington, whose mid-70s band Fanny blazed a trail for the next three decades of hard-rocking women musicians)is the duo's third and pussiest album.

these two radical chicks have been touring the country for years spreading their words, funky grooves, poetic rants and political mess messages, offering hope and life-changing performances to the people who have seen them live.

their repetoire covers such broad subjects as the queer encounters of a girl and a drag king, a machismo rap song about strap ons, a church hymnal piping up to the ganja goddess, break up songs that will rip your guts out, one chick's view of the burning world trade center, and of course their legendary political document, the "pussy manifesto."

Bitch and Animal will bend yer head, and their words will follow you to bed. Because it's not just a band, it's an attitude.
