Quintron's Too Thirsty 4 Love finds New Orleans' favorite son and finest organist all over the map in the best possible sense of the word- from the sultry bedroom funk of "The Boss Wants to Party with You" to the boozy skiffle of "Sunday Night" to the experimental minimalism of "Reborn." Whether he's reimagining The Police's "Roxanne" on the title track or inspiring the crowd with the catchy party anthem "Model Ex Citizen," the mood is raucous fun, the place is Cajun Atlantis and the sound is undeniably pure Quintron.
This album was recorded entirely live in a bizarre 2-track studio set deep in the heart of New Orleans now famous 9th Ward. The live tracks were then played back and sung over. Lets call this the “6th grade bedroom style” of multi-tracking. For any interested equipment nerds, the Spellcaster Lodge studio consists of 4 microphones, one custom Neotek Series 1 board, and a 2 track tape deck. And a corkscrew.
Quintron’s musical partner MISS PUSSYCAT plays maracas and sings backup as well as entertaining all age groups with her highly amusing technicolor puppet shows. She has just recently finished filming a 10 episode puppet drama called TRIXIE AND THE TREE TRUNKS for VBS (Vice) TV.
The Quintron / Miss Pussycat experience is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, Swamp-Tech beats, small explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining puppet stories. You can see them perform regularly at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans, Louisiana or on one of their many tours around the world. This act somehow has equal relevance in sleazy nightclubs, pizza restaurants, and university lecture halls.
“Too Thirsty 4 Love” is the 10th full length Quintron record and the first to be released on legendary Memphis garage label GONER RECORDS. Its about fucking time.
