New York's Avenue D and MC Flow October 25, 2006

What happens when you’re a pair of fabulously hot girls from the moist and pseudo-primordial land of Miami who enjoy the musical strains of rap, freestyle, 80's New Wave, and punk? Well, if you‘re Debbie D. or Daphne D., you have no choice but to morph like a magical, fantastic robot into a volatile, hilarious ghetto booty group called Avenue D. Then you must fuse these musical influences (from 2 Live Crew to Cyndi Lauper, from Jem and the Holograms to CRASS) together to produce an awesome array of songs with all the style and fun of 80’s camp, mixed with hard-hitting beats, and a little "Girls Gone Wild" thrown in for good measure. Then you go forth and shock the legions of teeming masses in NYC and beyond! It’s God’s will!

VICE: "...Avenue D make blood rush to your genitalia faster than sitting on a sharp axe head. Their biggest hit starts out with the words “Do I look like a slut? Un-huh? Shut up!” and becomes three minutes of two homegirls talking trash about people talking trash about them for being trashy."

SD CITY BEAT: "... two young ladies who dress like extras from the ’80s porno New Wave Hookers and who sing in a style of DJ-centric, indie-rocker approved house music—called “electroclash”—that blends pre-techno repetition with glam looks, punk history and b-boy wild-style."

BIGSTEREO: "The girls push the envelope - both with their music and lyrics. What makes Avenue D perfect - so perfect - is that you can take them on a total superficial level and just laugh at their lyrics. Or. You can stop and think and realize that there is so much going on there - they’re social commentators and political and so smart. But it’s whatever you want it to be."
