To me it's a clone of Demon Lover by Shocking Blue.

Sort of Cowboy Junkyish, which for me is a good thing.

This whole album is fabulous and should be listened to all the way through. Starts with a riff from Carmina Burana and then tells a whole story. It was written as the score for a ballet choreographed by James Canfield when he directed Oregon Ballet Theater. Music was performed live by Carmina P.  One of the most memorable shows I've ever seen in any Genre.  Buy the album.  No disappointments.  
 
I think I actually have this CD in my collection.  Ahhh, James Canfield and the Oregon Ballet Theater - I love it that they're still performing, but what happened to James Canfield?  I lost touch with most of the Portland area's fun stuff.  I do, however know about Dirty Martini, so maybe I'm not a totally hopeless case! {#Lol}

Giving this song a 7 for now - I'll need a couple more listens to be sure...

Powerful song, wonderful femme fatale voice, fine film noir cover, and above all a great band name. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Hmmm, reminds me of Simple Minds "Waterfront" or the Cure's "Fascination Street".

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, though it's the first time I've heard it on radio station that didn't originate in Portland, OR. In fact, I'm not sure I ever heard the band on the radio stations in Portland. Fantastic surprise to hear it now.

Hey wah!
These are my mates from Portland! Pretty obscure. That's what I love about this site. What an eclectic mix.

Another similarity: Both bands have uber-cool names that deserve to be plastered across magazine covers around the world, even if the bands themselves don't quite live up to the genius of the names.

For those who dig this, Carmina Piranha has now sort of evolved to Carmina Luna. You can get more info here

No, you're not the only one.
This one is more slick, it misses the rough edges. Like it.

I absolutely love everything about this band. I first heard of them from a friend living in Portland OR where he saw them as some very small show. He bought their cd and its become one of my most listened to. Revenge Poems is unfortunately nearly all they've produced, they have a second album I eagerly awaited, but its only about 22 minutes. I think they broke up.

I'd love to hear more, even though I've memorized them all, and see what other regular listeners think of this.

The metallic/tinny echo/reverb on the voice is annoying and pointless. Really detracts from a decent song.
