Tony Valentino, the guitarist for LA based garage rock band The Standells, is working on revisited version of that band's classic Dirty Water album. After three songs from that album it was time for a change of pace. The raw new original I'm a Sexy Punk Rocker finds him tapping into the energy of the late '70s, with bass player Gary Kaluza stepping up to the mike for a snarling vocal performance. Valentino is quite pleased wiht how to the track came out: "People have been calling me The Godfather Of Punk for a long time now, because of how much my guitar sound influenced those early punks, in LA and all over the world. Writing and recording this song was my chance to prove it."
I'm a Sexy Punk Rocker is released via Big Stir Records. The new version of the >Dirty Water album will be released later this year (vinyl, CD and digital).
