Bullet & Snowfox take over Crazy Girls!!!

The stellar Indie-electro duo that is Bullet & Snowfox performed their third ever live show on Wednesday, March 10, 2010, at Hollywood’s “Crazy Girls.” Those of y’all who live nearby in La La Land know that Crazy Girls is synonymous with tiny dancers, silicone, and booze, but who would’ve pegged this place as the go-to hot spot for up-and-coming musicians?

Bullet & Snowfox hit the Crazy Girls stage a little after 9:00PM and were joined by a handful of ladies prancing around in barely there bikinis, but that didn’t stop the audience from focusing their attention on Bullet & Snowfox’s adorably sexy front woman, Kristen Wagner, who’s fierce vocals and firecracker energy made the dancers seem almost invisible. Throw in some super-sick guitar riffs from the other half of the uber-talented duo, Josh Shapiro, and you’ve got yourself one hell-of-a badass show. Also joining Kristen and Josh on stage at Crazy Girls were Baron Von Luxxury on bass and Pablo Amador on drums.

While Los Angeles is certainly inundated with some exceptional bands, Bullet & Snowfox stand out in many ways. They have a truly unique sound that’s just the right blend of notable influences like New Young Pony Club, The Breeders, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and other electro and rock groups, along with, of course, their own signature sound. Kristen essentially writes all of the lyrics and Josh the music, and while they admittedly have very different taste in music, they still manage to create the perfect marriage between vocals and guitar.

The song, “Neuroric Nancy,” was an audience fave at the Crazy Girls show, and also the track that the band opened up with. It‘s a really catchy tune that‘s really Kristen poking fun at herself for her various girly neuroses that many of us chicks can relate to, like wishing we‘d curled our hair before leaving the house, or worn a different pair of shoes, etc., and many-a-girl in the ladies room were overheard from behind stall doors singing the lyrics, “crazy, psycho bitch I’m getting’ antsy. All my friends call me Neurotic Nancy!” B & S played a number of other great tracks and kept the audience singing and dancing throughout.

Josh and Kristen formed the band less than two years ago, and they have managed to put together an impressively long song list in this time without sacrificing quality or originality. The show was virtually flawless, and considering that it was only Bullet & Snowfox’s third time ever performing for a live audience, I’d say that you had better keep an eye out for ’em because it’s only a matter of time before these guys go viral!
