Meet the Bands Performing at The 2006 Phoenix New Times Music Showcase! - 60 Bands - 18 Venues - Mill Avenue in Tempe -
ARTIST: Numbers On Napkins
Dirty rotten party punks Numbers On Napkins turn out sex-rock ballsy enough to take punk back from all the skater church kids who seem intent on defanging it. Numbers sing about real subtle stuff - blowjobs, drunkenness, and castration top the bands lyrical platform. Now granted, lyrics like "My girlfriend bit my dick off / No more dick for me / How will I pee?" may not rank up there with something off Let It Be, cut c'mon, it's punk rock! Playing straight-ahead party punk in the vein of The Vandals and Screeching Weasel, these guys want you to get drunk and laid, especially if they can follow suit. And listening to Numbers will clarify chick-punk fans everywhere that real punk rock doesn't stem from whiny songs about how a girl won't return your text messages. Instead, it's all about middle finger attitude.
