History:
What if there was a Second Coming of Christ, (suspending belief that there was even a first)? And what if some nut bag running through the mean streets of the post-industrial wasteland of Dayton, Ohio started mumbling about this strange vision of Christ? But the Holy Dude transformed into this kick ass almost all-girl rock quartet named Shesus? Would you believe? Well, with the all-star line up of Shesus- Dayton's newest rawk gawds - you might head back to yr choice of electric church. As early as 1999 numerous born again rockers claimed Shesus sightings. The wasteland that has bred such strange creatures as Guided By Voices, Brainiac, Pere Ubu, and Pretenders to name just a few resembles more of a sanctified promise land anymore, especially with Shesus on the scene. The Shesus beast changed earthly form numerous times. Shesus has finally settled into a four piece of the heartland's most rockin' leaders. Anti-Lead guitarist, Michelle Bodine coats her ax with sugar before crushing the listener with heavy riffs and schizophrenic melody. With Shesus, Bodine perfects what she started in Brainiac. Bodine played with Breeders for a brief stint and lends this experience to Shesus songwriting. Lead Vocalist and dynamic front-woman, Heather Newkirk (formerly of Robthebank) seduces with 80's flair and adds her own sweetness to the pop-carnage. On the record Kim Carter plays rhythm guitar. Carter moves along the fret board tempting Bodine with dueling precision. Carter, recently left Shesus after deciding the demands of the rock star life didn't suit her lifestyle. New vixen, Kari Murphy (Lazy), discharges sonic boom on a muffed out bass. Her fingers move like jumping leprechauns in heat. Murphy recently replaced Erika Wennerstorm. And then, replacing ex-GBV member Craig Nichols, there's Dave Colvin. Sitting loud and proud in the back–solitarily offering up some hot cock rock action while banging away on the skins. He's heavy, he's deep, he's loud, and he's pregnant with demonic beats. Colvin promises to wear his wig and push up bra at each show, but unfortunately, despite being childhood friends with Ms. Bodine, Bodine is putting her foot down on the all night pajama slumber parties. Colvin has to go home by 10:00 PM. But, guess who'll be waking to find his house has fell victim to the best darn tee-pee job in all of Dayton, OH? Oh, those crazy girls, they're just a riot.
Save me Shesus, save me. Amen.
