As seen earlier, Rah Al Milio of the Knux has begun a blogging and recording side-project under the Joey Lestrat (Le Pop Killer) alias. He bills it as “The Knux, Vampires, Guitars and stars.” I can’t help but view this as a wise move. In these True Blood and Twilight times, the real money is in vampires. Consequently, Passion of the Weiss is switching to an all vampire-all-the-time-aesthetic. Nothing but Lestrat, Manson, and Bauhaus. Bela Lugosi is not dead.
About “Touch.” It’s not rap, so don’t download looking for typical Knux garage-hop. According to Al, it’s “not on an album, not on a mixtape, no purpose but to spread the virus.” If anything, it sounds closest to late 90s Brit Pop–as though the younger Lindsey brother has been listening to nothing but White Town’s “Your Woman” and Blur’s 13. I also can’t help but view this as a wise move. If nothing else, it sons Japanese Cartoon.
