In the annals of Australian music, Machine Gun Fellatio have a chapter unto themselves. With flashing lights, twirling tassels and a staggeringly unarguable list of hit songs and albums, they blazed a trail through the Australian music scene of the late 90's and early 2000's. With tracks like Mutha F----- on a Motorcycle, Rollercoaster and Pussytown through to the brilliant Unsent Letter, The Girl Of My Dreams (Is Giving Me Nightmares) & Troublemaker - Machine Gun Fellatio were a veritable juggernaut, their 2002 album Paging Mr. Strike went double platinum (140,000 sales). The thing about MGF, was that for all the nudity, controversy, prop gags, glam-porn and party threads for which they were infamous, at the bones of the band was one core strength - the songs were brilliant. Introducing Pinky Beecroft & The White Russians. Pinky Beecroft was the frontperson, singer and primary songwriter of Machine Gun Fellatio; following his departure in 2005 the band disbanded. Says Pinky: "The White Russians to me is the band I always wanted, ever since I was a kid. It feels like the MGF experience was a strange side-project - a very very strange & weirdly successful side-project." Pinky's search for musicians for his new project led to guitarist Nick Stewart (co-founder and guitarist of the critically-acclaimed, multiplatinum-selling george), former MGF roadie Christian McBride (drums) and Monstars bassist Ben T.

Everyone's got their demons and such, keeping them down in their pit can be too much over a flurry of hits in the gut. Here's hopin'. Singin' "Back it on up and start again". I get the sense I may be singin' that for a long while.
On first single and title track: 'Funny track, wholly written with bass and drums not unlike a lot of the Dark Satanic Mills EP. Quite distinct from the rest of the album structurally. Thematically a return to the Eden subject previously explored in the Sunset Studies track 'There Is No Such Place'. - Glenn Richards
