Gary Super Macho Mowax Promo CD

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Last week, I picked up a rare Promo CD of the single Gary Super Macho, released in the UK on the MoWax label, back in 1997. The CD itself is interesting, as it is partially transparent. The press release that came bundled with the CD is interesting because it details a string of UK dates (September 1997), for which Sukia performed as the supporting act for the Stereolab Dots And Loops tour.

The press release  reads as follows:

SUKIA…….THE NEW SINGLE………RELEASE DATE SEPT 29TH

Warm up the condoms. But don’t dim the lights. Flash them! The salubrious Sukia are coming back with a strutting Dust Brothers reworking of the single “Gary Super Macho” released on the 29th September and a series of live UK Dates.

Sukia wrench their “Gary Super Macho” single fro Mo Wax’s barmiest album to date “Contacto Espacial Con El Tercer Sexo”. The Californian four piece, Sukia, named after a Lesbian Vampire now introduce you to her well endowed gay manservant “Gary Super Macho” and a hugely endowed single this is. Giving us more sexy Spanish trashy comic madness that alters your mood with each twist and turn. Stretching the boundaries of bizzare, Beck’s favourite band Sukia, take you on a rollercoaster ride of moogs, samples and warped thrash guitar.

Go bonkers with the Dust Brothers remix which whips the original into The Goodies meets B-52’s for a music lesson on some distant planet, followed by the laid back dirtied up Sanchez mix and then let the stroke of the calmer version by the Japanese Major Force West wash over you. “Gary Super Macho” arrives in 12″ or CD for your own particular preference.

Sukia also return to the UK with their highly unique and uniquely improvised live show – expect dressing down (to naked) and playing up to the max – Sukia are an experience, a world unto their own. So get down and ready to “Body Rock” at the following venues……….
