| Imperial Teen, performing at Folsom Street Fair in 2007.History
The band first gained notice with their debut album, Seasick, in 1996, which was produced by Steve McDonald (Redd Kross).New York Times reviewer wrote that "though every song on the album is good, the best are the ones about homosexuality ("Butch"), Kurt Cobain ("You're One"), and complete nonsense ("Imperial Teen")"."You're One" was the album's breakout single, receiving heavy radio play on alternative stations; a promotional video was also produced for the song.Rolling Stone review of the album said that "Imperial Teen still have this turf all to themselves, and they blast through the bubblegum riffs of "Birthday Girl", "Year of the Tan" and "Lipstick"."Its single "Yoo Hoo" appeared on the soundtrack to Jawbreaker, starring Rose McGowan; McGowan also appeared alongside the band in the video for the song, which was included on the Jawbreaker DVD.Imperial Teen ended up headlining a club tour instead.The Advocate said of the band, "With lyrical allusions to wearing lipstick and male pronouns used to address love objects, Imperial Teen serves up a gay sensibility that ordinarily surfaces only from straight bands like Pulp or Pizzicato Five."That's why something that visually screams as loud as Marilyn Manson is such a breath of fresh air."Issues with support levels and label restructuring at Universal Records prompted Imperial Teen to switch to Merge Records for the 2002 release of their third album, On, which was produced by Steve McDonald (again) and Anna Waronker (of That Dog).The lead track, "Ivanka" (which was originally released on the "Sweet and Touching" 7") received radio play.Imperial Teen toured with The Breeders in 2002 in support of the album.Imperial Teen returned on the live scene with two shows at the South by Southwest music festival in March of 2007.The Advocate 13 September 2005 retrieved from FindArticles.Too many keywords can constrain your search.Use fewer keywords to find more results.If you want to specify which of your search terms should match the author's name and which should match the title, you should conduct an Advanced Search.View or change your orders in Your Account.You have no recently viewed items or searches.After viewing product detail pages or search results, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in.Hours() * 3600 + newCurrentTime.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Hours() * 3600 + currentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.Day Shipping at checkout.Amazon MP3 Downloads store.Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?FSCommands are received by VBScript in IE.Track states defined in AlbumSampler.Images representing the various track states."Embedding code will be displayed here."But rather than retreating to safer commercial ground, Bottom and his coed San Francisco crew sound more determined than over on this third album.Ivanka' and the chaotic, stop 'n' start stomper 'Baby', On begins like any other Imperial Teen album.Teacher of the Year's Bestseller for Teens into Sports, on ESPN's...Books of magic and adventure.Add a iframe that allows us to ping the server when this element becomes visible
