Who can turn the world on with a smile? / Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? / Better still, who can sponsor a punk-rock food fight / Inviting fans to attend a show and pelt the band with fruits and vegetables? The Mary Tyler Whores, of course! Broward's messy purveyors of stripped down, below-the-belt punk. For authenticity the band includes Joey Image, original drummer for protohardcore pioneers the Misfits. For fun the band sports an irreverent, clever handle. And for the hell of it, the musicians will let you throw your rotten citrus at them for no extra charge. Fort Lauderdale's Culture Room is a prime spot to pick up these Whores.

Comments: Claiming to be “one of the most controversial and outrageous punk bands ever in South Florida,” The Mary Tyler Whores feature former members of industrial-hardcore act Collapsing Lungs (Cassara), powder-puff punk group New Found Glory (Jitt) and Zeta radio favorite Crease (Dorigo). The Whores will soon release a six-song EP titled Sex Sells and We’re Buying, which they hope will help the band achieve its goal of “pushing and pissing people off all the way to the top.” Check ’em out at www.marytylerwhores.com.
