I touch myself

After the modest success of ‘Don’t Wanna Know Your Name’, Saucy Monky return with a thoroughly modern cover of the Divinyl’s cheeky classic

After the modest success of ‘Don’t Wanna Know Your Name’, Saucy Monky return with a thoroughly modern cover of the Divinyl’s cheeky classic. If their appearance at Oxegen’s hotpress signing tent is anything to go by, Annmarie Cullen and Cynthia Catania are shaping up to be sexpots proper, and this single won’t do their growing reputation any harm at all. ‘I Touch Myself’ is a fine twinning of crunchy guitars and cheery, girlish vocals. ‘Bright Side’ is an altogether more austere, though no less intriguing affair. Saucy indeed…

With the release of their hugely impressive Turbulence album, LA/Irish outfit Saucy Monky have emerged as genuine contenders. As the critical plaudits continue to mount up, twin lead vocalists and songwriters Cynthia Catania and Annmarie Cullen step up to the mic.

Turbulence, the debut album proper from Saucy Monky, is one of those records. It is at once rich, smart, sexy, thrilling, entertaining, diverse and hugely accomplished. It is a great, rock’n’roll record, both playful and deep, its sometimes dark indie heart-core spangled with enough sparks of pop magic to light up the western sky.
