Holy Crap! Let's Eat!!!

Welcome to the latest in my series of cooking with all the cool people in the world, that you will probably never meet.

This week, it's THE PRETTY FLOWERS!

Now before you say "who?", you need to shut your sweet mouth, because the only reason you haven't heard of them yet, is because you are uncool.

The sweetest degenerates on the planet, and the darlings of the New York underground, Pretty Flowers are a Brooklyn-based three-piece who sing about sluts, sloppy seconds and Scheisse movies. They play driving, infectious indie and punk rock that they call Tardcore.

They are: Russ Josephs (bass/vocals) from New York, Yelena Milskaya (guitar/vocals) from Moscow, and Danny Cashen (drums) from Detroit.

Their site is: www.prettyflowers.org


Oh my God, Yelena OWNS.
