The Big Gun Show Ain't Nobody's Bitch

Powerhouse rock comes to the table in spades in "Bitch" off of the native Austinites "Shaken Not Stirred" effort. The drumming rips like a house on fire. The guitar playing is about as raw as your favorite T-Bone steak. I mean this is classic meat off the bone stuff that demands a doggie bag or three. The bridge guitar work would appeal to even the most jaded critic. Takes you back to your high school pin-up days when you had Farrah Fawcett posters on the wall. The "Bitch" in question has been put on notice that she's not to cause any friction to the protagonist in question or face divine retribution otherwise. What I like most about the drumming in addition to what I've said earlier is the ferocity with which it gets knocked out of the park. This is high adrenaline stuff of the highest caliber. Gunter's voice is ass kicking. No problem taking names here. Gunter and his band are master craftsman of the highest order. Each member of the group knows his place in the pecking order and executes beautifully. It's as if the boys knew each other for eons. I like the barroom appeal of it. Out of the gate that guitar drum mixture is potent like a chemical too toxic for the open market. The big smile blood red lips imagery will be in your head for days. Need cheering up. The I am woman hear me roar motif is infectious. Can't you just sense the shit eating grin on Gunter's face? The perfect round behind needs no explanation I wouldn't suppose. Gets Gunter hot and bothered to say the absolute least. The guitar backdrop serves as ideal testosterone fuel. The classic girl falls for other guy storyline gets its due of course. It is practically a staple of the rock genre. In bed legs above head leaves little to the imagination. Then again I'm guessing that was the point. "Trouble in stereo" strikes an amusing chord. Never heard that expression before. I probably think it will be the last. Don't see it getting much traction. Shame on the titular bitch for causing troubles. "Running downtown all stripped down," is classic boy toy material. The bitch in question will "never be like Mama was." Am supposing that's a good thing. Instrumentally, like I said, it's the total package. The boys are in fine fettle. Add "Bitch" to your i-Pod shuffle. You won't be disappointed.
