HARD ON FOR HARD TON

Billed as the biggest Disco Queen of the XXI century, Hard Ton is unlike any other artist out there, and RAW has a huge hard on for Hard Ton! He's a delicious Italian-flavored recipe for dance floor fun! Take the body of Divine, throw in the voice of Sylvester, add the stage presence of Rob Halford, sprinkle it with the style of Leigh Bowery, and shake liberally with 100% pure acid house. Not to mention an amazing sense of humor...I mean the cover art for the Selfish EP is a fan-effing-tastic riff on the original.

There's substance to Hard Ton, and we're not just talking about his 300 pounds. After 15 years of performing in heavy metal bands, Hard Ton is now using his powerful voice and an arsenal of analogue and vintage gear to kick out some great music. His list of equipment would probably make an electronica geek cum. We're talking shit like 303s, 606s, drum machines, KORG Kaoss Pad 3, Roland Juno 106, Korg MS 20, Prophet 5, Tenori ON, MC505, Gameboys, cymbals, cowbells, and more.

The Selfish EP comes out next week on Gigolo Records and features the track Earthquake, which RAW has a copy of for you. Be sure to buy the full release when it comes out on March 15, and pick up his previous 12-inch release, Flawless on Permanent Vacation.
