MAY 1998
Subject: The Velvet Mafia

Dean Johnson, punk's original queer ambassador, is back with a well-crafted album of scandalous poetry set to music. Sounding like a cross between Blondie, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the Knack, Johnson and his six-piece band tackle songs about trolls, drugs, drag and diseases. If you really want to rock with the disenfranchised, pocket the bankroll that you earmarked for "Rent" tickets and buy this album instead. Best song titles include "(Money Can't Buy You Love But It Can) Buy You Me" and "Mona Lisa (is a Drag Queen)." (Trip Records)
