With flashing lights\, twirling tassels and a staggeringly unarguable list of hit songs and albums\, they blazed a trail through the Australian music scene of the late 90s and early 2000s. With tracks like Mutha F----- on a Motorcycle\, Rollercoaster and Pussytown through to the brilliant Unsent Letter\, The Girl Of My Dreams (Is Giving Me Nightmares) & Troublemaker Machine Gun Fellatio were a veritable juggernaut\, their 2002 albumPaging Mr. Strike went double platinum (140\,000 sales). The thing about MGF\, was that for all the nudity\, controversy\, prop gags\, glam-porn and party threads for which they were infamous\, at the bones of the band was one core strength the songs were brilliant. Introducing Pinky Beecroft & The White Russians. Pinky Beecroft was the frontperson\, singer and primary songwriter of Machine Gun Fellatio\; following his departure in 2005 the group disbanded. Says Pinky: The White Russians to me is the band I always wanted\, ever since I was a kid. It feels like the MGF experience was a strange side-project a very very strange & weirdly successful side-project. Pinkys search for musicians for his new project led to guitarist Nick Stewart (co-founder and guitarist of the critically-acclaimed\, multi-platinum-selling george)\, former MGF roadie Christian McBride (drums) and Monstars bassist Ben T. Pinky Beecroft & The White Russians debut album Somethin Somewhere Better hits stores Saturday August 23rd through Gigpiglet Recordings/Inertia. The first single to be lifted from it Someone For Everyone hits radio Jul 14th. The B Side for the single is Pinkys cover of the Blondie classic Call Me.

Someone For Everyone is at radio now. 'unsent letter'\, thats where it all began for me. it kept coming on the radio and i liked the melody. then my friend saw the band and said it was the best fellatio she'd ever experienced (and they dont say that lightly my friends) and i got curious\, even though i didnt think any of their other songs would be as good as unsent letter. i was right\, none of them were. but then pinky did a solo gig at the hoey in 2001 and i heard all these other songs\, and i finally understood......
