Yeah, that’s Gravy Train!!!!, with four exclamation points — one for each member. Because, you know, even though only two — female singer Chunx and multi-instrumentalist (organ, programmed beats, bass, guitar) Hunx — perform on all of Are Your Wiggling?’s 11 trax, and Funx, the other gal in this multi-racial coed foursome, and Junx have few instrumental credits, they’ve all got equally important roles to play in creating the playfully kitschy, sexually salacious, over-the-top romper-room indie-rock party that is Gravy Train!!!! After all, someone’s gotta scream and dance along with Chunx as she does her kiddie corn, punk-pop-tart routine about well-hung guys, machine-gun lays, and pussy sauce (as in, "Your pussy sauce tastes so good, oh yeah!"). Call it exclamation-point pop, a humorous mix of roller-rink organ, electro-trash backbeats, the occasional punk-rock guitar riff, horny girl-group background vocals, and trash talking like "Reached into my beaver and made you a believer in the latest forbidden dance." Gives doo-woppy refrains like "A dooey dooey doo-yeah" a whole new meaning. Gravy Train!!!! + Veronica Lipgloss | Great Scott, 1222 Comm Ave, Allston | July 26 | 617.566.9014 BY MATT ASHARE
