KMP COVER STORY - NEW TIMES MAGAZINE

When Kill Miss Pretty debuted a few years ago, the band seemed to be little more than a lark for bassist Martin Davis, guitarist Russ Rogers and vocalist Alicia Olink. After all, the trio's first performance was more notable for its "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" costumes than for its set, which included several electro-punk originals and a handful of left-field covers such as The Moldy Peaches' "Who's Got the Crack?" The band's audience certainly wouldn't have been wrong to think it was all one big goof. Today, however, Kill Miss Pretty cannot be so easily dismissed. The group's recent CD, "Permission for Strange," presents a band in full, capturing the playful energy of its live performances, the musicians' confident songwriting (particularly on the single "Drawing Pictures of Haunted Houses With You") and the singer's coquettish charisma. Coupling bawdy lyrics with a winking, teasing charm, Olink, who is married to Rogers, could make a full moon blush—even when she and her bandmates are dressed like characters from "The Wizard of Oz."
