SHITTING GLITTER Amy Crosby - Vocals * Devin Strecker - Synthesizers, Vocals * Brandon Strecker - Guitar It's all about juxtaposition for the members of Shitting Glitter; from their name to their musical style and androgynous fashion sense, this is a band that's not afraid to cross lines - only to blur or destroy them. Musically, it's a mixture of Dance and Punk, with rock n' roll attitudes and pop sensibilities. Their synth-heavy concoction is bright yet edgy, inspired as much by new wave and electronica as it is folk rock and psychedelia. Influences run the gamut from Melissa Ethridge to Human League; The Dandy Warhols to The Indigo Girls. One reviewer described it as "Ani DiFranco holding the B-52's at gunpoint." This colorful metaphor perfectly sums up their blend of angst and kitsch. Amy Crosby, lead vocals, weaves words of hard-earned wisdom through her experiences as a lesbian, actress, feminist and fun-lover from the softball fields of Albuquerque; to the rollicking nightclubs of New York City; to the glamour, garbage and gaiety of the West Hollywood Lifestyle. Her intimate and seductive vocals breathe life into her highly personal lyrics. With her brightly colored wigs and new-romantic meets trailer park couture, Crosby commands the stage: often intimidating, sometimes vulnerably charismatic, always passionate. Vying with Crosby's aggressive and audacious incantations, Devin Strecker synthesizes a colorful and mystical sonic landscape of electronic beats and background textures, topping it off with skilled and studied keyboard playing. Classically trained, this former church pianist tickles the ivories as if his life depended on it, adding his choirboy vocal harmonies to compliment Crosby's powerful croons. The younger Strecker, Brandon, adds the edge to the mix with his rhythmic and eclectic guitar stylings. Rounding out the sound and adding a rock and roll feel, Brandon understands the intricacies of mixing guitars and synths in much the same manner as Elliot Easton of The Cars and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran. In addition to his guitar duties, Brandon also does all the production work on the band's studio recordings. Currently the trio is working on its second full-length album, to be titled Free Alongside Ship.

Story behind the song
It is referring to that old car,which was a pretty snazzy item in its time.. and if you own one now, you are bound to be filthy rich. i don't think many were made. the incomparable white six refers to the method the girl uses to kill herself.. she drives off a cliff in the vehicle. it also serves as a countdown of the 6 pieces of the puzzle to the final suicide scene.
Lyrics
The Incomparable White Six (x2) Six; her fix. Mind her, sell her, bite teeth Blow to the bell falls deaf on what’s left of her stash. Dipping, skipping nights, Cuts in line to spend bought time. Five; her drive, insane refrain, male-like overstrive Five to the floor, face to the door Rubber laid in black face Streaking past her own grave. Four; her whore Blindside, hackride, rouged and rank Painted inside Piece that she sells makes for her tales Tall blonde fake queen. Powder, stained thing Drains clean Three; her free fly by, far cry Hides heavy price Feels lucky bound, false safe and sound Simple math denies her Subtracts the price her mind’s worth Hey Scarlet, meet me in the hall,hide your candlestick, help me end it all Hey Scarlet, meet me in the hall, hide your candlestick, help me end it all Two; her due, time’s up, turn key, speed train On course full force Time’s falling in wears circles thin surrounds the win Claim laid, Wreck Day rewind replay One; her gun ,locked clean, steel dream Blackjack power king smack to the back, bald self attack Target, girl hit, man down Hey Scarlet, meet me in the hall, hide your candlestick, help me end it all Hey Scarlet, meet me in the hall, hide your candlestick, make me end it all
