Kinky are a five piece band from Monterrey, Mexico. They formed in 1998, and have already released two albums - 2002's self titled debut and 2003's Atlas. Tomorrow sees the release of their latest record Reina. Sonically it picks up pretty much where they left off. These guys are pretty eclectic, a mash up of Mexican tropicalia, hip hop, pop, indie rock, electronica and a touch of psychedelia - basically your "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" approach. The common denominator of most of the songs is that they are aimed at getting you to dance. This time around the band recorded and self produced the album in California. While recording the house they were in was hit by a mudslide which covered all of the instruments and equipment. Unphased, they cleaned up and finished the record. While the record is unlikely to get high critical praise it is a fun and funky listen. How Do They Do That is an instrumental that combines horns, funky scratching and some killer new wave keyboards. Monday Killer features a special guest vocalist - Men At Work's Colin Hay. It's a skanking update of the old "Low Rider" riff with plenty of percussive groove.
