PRESS RELEASE : POSR “Cocaine Nose Job” Feat. Larry Tee and Alexander Technique
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WHAT KIND OF NOSE JOB? “COCAINE NOSE JOB”
THE UPCOMING SINGLE FROM AUSTIN’S
ELECTO-PUNK BAND, POSR
Austin-based POSR is poised to revolutionize dance floors and playlists with the release of “Cocaine Nose Job,” the first single off their forthcoming album Known Unknown, to be released by Houston’s Tierra Studios late spring/early summer 2010.
POSR, the latest musical brainchild of world renowned dance music producer Jake Childs, showcases Childs’ edgy post-punk vocals riding over a wave of pulsating, driving beats.
“Cocaine Nose Job” also features a “Blogula” remix by the world famous musical tastemakers Larry Tee and Alexander Technique. Larry Tee is well known for his effort in coining the term “electroclash” as well as launching the careers of many of New York based artists including RuPaul, Scissor Sisters, Fischerspooner, and Avenue D.
“When we started our blogula mix of ‘Cocaine Nose Job,’ we realized we were gonna have to go deep into our electro roots and drag some noise out,” says Tee. “But since electro alone isn’t a radical formula anymore, we are blasting in elements of a sticky bottom end, and a grindy new electronic weeze designed to make the floor go OFF.”
“For the remixes, I wanted to call upon a legend in the electroclash movement, and that would be Larry Tee,” says Childs. “He’s definitely a huge inspiration in attitude and the stuff he spins has hipped me onto a lot of new sounds and talents. PLUS HE’S A F@%$ING LEGEND! Viva electroclash!”
“Materialism is a beautiful thing, but it also can be a dangerous thing if you let it fully overtake you,” says Childs, “but so can be said true of non-materialism.” POSR is “id vs. ego in its purest form.”

The reviews are in for Club Badd, the debut album of original material from DJ Larry Tee. DJ Mag declares Larry the “Andy Warhol of dance music” and describes the sound as “packing more attitude than Lily Allen on a bad hair day.” NME describes it as a vivacious mix of booty bass and disposable techno” and gives it a 6 star rating..and his picture and interview is top left on DMC update with an interview in IDJ, a feature in M8, as well as amazing coverage in Playboy, Q, Time Out London and New York, the cover of London’s BOYZ, the cover of NYC’s HX, and way too many to mention. But the positive reviews have created a buzz like no other time in Larry Tee’s legendary career! So now…… Welcome To Club Badd!
Club Badd is the name of New York nightclub legend Larry Tee’s album that features some of the world’s most over-sized personalities and is a celebration of the YouTube generation. With appearances by Princess Superstar, Perez Hilton, Roxy Cottontail, Amanda LePore, Hervé, Sébastien Léger, Tomboy, Afrojack (Laidback Luke and Diplo are playing his “Let’s Make Nasty” mix), Fukkk Offf, Chewy Cholcolate Cookies, Princess Julia, Christopher Just, Mel Merio, Jodie Harsh, Jeffree Star, and 7-year-old video star Amanita, it is by far the most outrageous collection EVER! The Club Badd assault started with the UK single release of his collaboration with Princess Superstar called “Licky.” Already a chart hit in Germany and Australia, it features slamming mixes by Hervé, Vandalism, Sébastien Léger, and Kris Menace and as well as a special guest appearance by Santigold on the version used on the Steve Aoki album. It has been played by everyone: Justice, Erol Alkan, Armand Van Helden, Laurent Garnier, Judge Jools, Pete Tong, Steve Aoki (it’s on his top 20 Billboard Electronic Album), and it’s on Ed Banger’s Busy P mix CD. The second single, “I Love U” is already being used as an intro for Steve Aoki and MSTRKRFT’s live sets with a Ghostface Killer vocal drop, as well as being banged by super-jock Jesse Rose. Club Badd, which is out now, is not only a dance party album extrodinaire, but it is also like “YouTube/Myspace.com, The Musical.” It harnesses the energy of the world’s current fascination with all the madness of the internet generation.
Larry Tee hails from Atlanta, Georgia where he was friends with REM and his first group, the Fans, produced the B-52s’ first independent single “Rock Lobster/52 Girls.” He moved to NYC with fellow Atlantans RuPaul and Lady Bunny and quickly took over the NYC club scene with his epic party Love Machine. He started and named the infamous DISCO 2000 of Party Monster movie fame, DJ’ed the ROXY weekly, and co-wrote the Billboard Top 40 song Rupaul’s “Supermodel (You Better Work).” In 1997 Larry Tee got clean from drugs and alcohol and decided to re-examine his life and career. He turned to music for inspiration and championed a new sound and movement which became the Electroclash phenomenon. He created the term “Electroclash” for his festivals in 2001/2002 (it’s in the Oxford English Dictionary) which helped launch the careers of Scissor Sisters, Felix Da Housecat, 2 Many DJs/Soulwax, Peaches and many more.
Fast forward to 2009 and we see Larry Tee traveling all over the world bringing his unique sound and exclusive tracks to festivals and cool nightclubs worldwide. He has played alongside Kraftwerk, The Gorillas, New Order, LCD Soundsystem, N*E*R*D, Chemical Brothers, The Cure, Katy Perry and Fatboy Slim in festivals like Bennicassim, Global Gathering, Mysterylands, Primavera, and Summercase and his international schedule has grown with his Beatport success (The Crooker’s have his new single in their top 10 on Beatport). New videos for “Licky”, “I Love U” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqgC6VYwH3M), the Perez Hilton’s track, Hipster Girl and Amanda Lepore plus an exclusive re-edit of Kelly’s “Shoes” for YouTube give the the album a visual side like no other album today! The next single, “I Love U,” featuring 7-year-old Amanita has already been remixed by Bart B More, Christopher Just, and The Bulgarian and has just been released worldwide. Club Badd is set to be the “Girls Gone WIld” of 2009, meaning the runaway surprise hit that took the country by storm. Join Club Badd and make this the year of the Party People!!
