Wam Bam Thank You Glam: White Mystery’s Bowie Playlist
By White Mystery Posted September 18, 2014
White Mystery is siblings Miss Alex White and Francis Scott Key, a Chicago-based rock ‘n’ roll duo that is featured in the MCA’s “Covers Bowie” programming for David Bowie Is.
WAM BAM THANK YOU GLAM is a collection of the glitter, punk, and artful songs. We curated the mix to celebrate our September 23, 2014, performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art. The playlist explores vintage glam pioneers such as T-Rex, Zolar X, and Mott the Hoople, as well as contemporary visionaries such as Sam Flax, the Dandy Warhols, and Dirty Fences.
Glam unites music, style, and attitude. Wearing platform shoes and rocking an extreme haircut quickly connects a band to the genre, but it is an anti-establishment punk spirit that transports a glam contender to the glittery finish line. The artists featured in this mix are from many different cities and time periods, but they all share sparks of innovation that blend together to express what glam is about—and also continues to inspire.
You’ll just have to listen for yourself!
In addition to being a rock ‘n’ roll duo, we also DJ the vinyl records that so greatly inspire our work in White Mystery. Visit us online at whitemystery.com
