Sex With Monsters

Equally revered and despised in their native England, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine has been on the cutting edge of the U.K.'s dance-pop scene since their first hit single in 1989.

A fresh cultural analysis of female monsters from Greek mythology, and an invitation for all women to reclaim these stories as inspiration for a more wild, more "monstrous" version of feminism

June Thomson and Giselle Ross are inextricably linked by two unspeakable acts of evil. On the same day, a few miles apart, their estranged husbands slaughtered their children. The murders were not driven by rage, or committed in moments of madness. They were planned, and carried out with chilling precision, to inflict the worst pain imaginable.

Formed in 1987 by Fruitbat and Jim Bob, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine burst onto the scene with their signature style of indie punk-rock pop infused with samples, drum machines, and social commentary. Recorded on tour in 1993 in support of their UK Top 5 album ‘Post Historic Monsters’, this new live album captures the band at the height of their powers. The 19-song setlist includes blistering performances of recent singles ‘Lenny And Terence’ and ‘Lean On Me I Won’t Fall Over’ along with Carter classics ‘The Only Living Boy In New Cross’ and ‘Bloodsport For All’ (also listen out for James Atkin from EMF on some guest guitar spots). Recently discovered in the archives, the show has been newly mixed from the original tapes by Les ‘Fruitbat’ Carter and Dave Draper.

An exquisite examination of a sexual culture in crisis
