GJ and the PIMPKILLERS (2009, Hoof & Antler)

From the opening lines of “I’ve Got a Gun” it’s apparent that the follow-up to 2003’s Matter of Time is a departure for Bambi Lee Savage. Where Matter of Time introspectively bared its soul, the simultaneously menacing and enticing GJ and the PimpKillers is locked and loaded for righteous action. The opening track is just the beginning of an assertive and unapologetic commentary - “Crazy World” refers to sinister terrorist plots and “PimpKiller” is as stylish a revenge song as any downtrodden prostitute could hope for. But GJ and the PimpKillers is tempered by songs of love and redemption, ultimately offering an unexpected olive branch on the heels of violence, despair and revenge.
