John Fredrick is a "queer who happens to be a musician." This Radical Faerie anarchist rock-diva act up disco-punk wonderboy renders sonic rollercoaster rides with remarkable musical coherence and passion. His explosive new Drag Queen EP keeps you guessing and bouncing in fits among cuts from Fire Island disco to post-punk slam. Drag Queen packs plenty of attitude in anthem to all drag kings and queens on the planet. In the drippingly contemptuous Real Men, John-Fredrick puts red necks to rest once and for all. The avant-garde I Went To The Spike, confronts gay male elitism and eros in a shockingly personal and literary lament. Relapse, appearing on the Trip Records compilation This Way Out is his crazed thrash-a-thon of dark times in the South. John-Fredrick has something for the alternative as well as disco crowd, this week, but you never know what to expect out of this whirling dervish of a performer. John-Fredrick fears no idiom and will tackle anything from a Puccini aria to a convulsive neo-thrash punk slam. You will hear more from John-Fredrick.
