In case you didn't realize that the 80s were back, here is a sure sign. The electro-pop-punk duo Mynx is like a mashup of B-52s, Depeche Mode, Devo, and Toni Basil - yet totally modern (a taste of La Roux, Junior Senior and THEM in the mix.) The humor of their first single "I'm So LA" made me mistakenly write them off as a Right Said Fred-like novelty. Following up with the harder-edged, yet still tongue-in-cheek "Kissie Show" proves they've got the goods. The beat is hiNRG and the cutting lyrics will make the guys wearing guyliner with their skintight black jeans and the girls wearing scrunchies (ironically of course) bounce at the after party all night. Fun people making fun music, "Kissie Show" is a sweet taste of their upcoming CD Axis of Disco, which is shaping up to be one of the best electro cds of 2009.
