Femme Fatality are St. Louis' Finest Electro-Trash Fun

Living in the midwest can be the last thing from glamourous, but St. Louis electro-trash party rock duo Femme Fatality would have you believing otherwise with their high energy shows and dark underground synth pop songs. Their debut album, Never Had A Daddy, released in 2004, along with their 2008 sophomore, One's Not Enough, reflect the gritty midwest nightlife and endless quest for fun.

Femme Fatality is the brainchild of the Palermo brothers, Alexander and Monanani, but they have the sound of a fully powered band. They've developed a cult following nationwide and a reputation for interacting with the crowd at shows, and its a conundrum to think that there are major label bands who are selling out arenas with nothing but mediocrity to produce while bands like Femme Fatality are pushing the envelope with fan favorites like "Octavia's Love Song", "Dirty Life", and "Lucky Lover".  They have toured extensively over the past few years, gained plenty of exposure through their Myspace, and plenty of word of mouth. With their music available for listening on sites like last.fm, it's easy to be exposed and become a quick fan of their infectious grooves. 

It'll be very interesting seeing where Femme Fatality takes their sound from here after gaining international exposure with their last 2 albums. They've become quite a household name for the music lover seeking underground bands that offer a fun, alluring escape from the stresses of daily life. Currently they are in the studio recording their third album in Los Angeles, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for fans via their Twitter, to which they've left tweets such as "Sooo many new songs in the works.... " and "Working on the new stage show, videos, photos, and recording A LOT of stuff. It feels good back be back doing all...". Whether intentional or not, it leaves enough updated information on the upcoming record to ignite plenty of anticipation for loyal fans. The album is expected to be released later this year, and if you're not listening to Femme Fatality by then, you're missing out on some pure trashy fun.
