Minnesota Sex Junkies
Minnesota Sex Junkies are a 3-piece American alternative rock, electronic pop, genre-mixing band from Richlands, Virginia. The band formed in 1998 from a collection of quirky, sarcastic, music nerds who met at a taco stand and who all just couldn't get enough U2, Nine Inch Nails and Tom Waits. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses heart broken lyrics and electronic beats with slithery bass and angst soaked vocals that will make you want to cry in the rain, get mad at long lost love, then go "WTF!"
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Minnesota Sex Junkies dared to define "genre," mixing healthy doses of Rock and Pop with splashes of Dance, Techno, Industrial, Metal, Jazz, Country and even Disco.
Formed in 1998. MSJ never lacked as a two piece band, proving themselves backed by modern technology, talent and visually intense live show, earning recognition from peers, celebrated musicians, and various labels. MSJ temporarily parted ways in 2001 to focus on individual projects before returning to the studio in 2007 to write and record material for a new album entitles "MSJ".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, we play live. Although it will be a few more months before we hit the road with "MSJ"
