Biography
Kansas City's The Sexy Accident play "forceful, even fiery power-pop" "driven by catchy melodies and smart, real-life lyric writing." Songwriter Jesse Kates "sings with a devotion and sensitivity that's sometimes surprising." (The Big Takeover)
The band's fourth long-player, Ninja Ninja Fight Darth Vader, arrived on Record Store Day: April 21, 2012.
Produced, engineered and mixed in Kansas City and Seattle by Steve Fisk (Low, Unwound, Harvey Danger, Nirvana, The Wedding Present), Ninja Ninja Fight Darth Vader reverberates with intimacy and magical realism. In turns playful and sincere, the record encircles a wide thematic range: from youth, wine and women to marriage and fatherhood.
Earlier in 2012, The Sexy Accident released the You're Not Alone EP, which includes two gender-flipped renditions of the songs All Surface and I'm Just Trying to Help (Me Like You) from the band's prior full-length, the critically-acclaimed Mantoloking, which "addresses the noticeable failings of leaders, family, friendship, and love" and "proffers raw lyrics and bitter memories with aching honesty" (Present Magazine)
In 2010, The Sexy Accident released the Now That She's Gone EP, "a smart, catchy, fulfilling course" (The Pitch) that reveals "a self-contained world of cheating and leaving lovers" (Erasing Clouds)
