SPANG SISTERS OH, GARY BUSEY

Love takes many forms; romantic, platonic, familial. For Bristol five-piece Spang Sisters, there’s no love like that of idolic admiration…. And the object of their affection? You guessed it, the one and only Texan actor Gary Busey. Commenting on their fandom, the band share an insight: “Someone once said, ‘Texans don't bury their failures. They get inspired by them.’ Nothing could be truer of the man, Gary Busey. An icon of the highest degree, he wouldn’t let the unforeseen failures of films such as Pirahna 3DD and Welcome 2 Ibiza stop him from producing more zany B-movies like Homo Erectus and Mansion of Blood. For this reason, the man deserves an ode; a celebration of his restless Texan spirit and relentless thirst for creation, even in the face of degradation. A man of unconventional beauty and talent who can thrive in Hollywood is an icon to us all.” With that highly agreeable argument, you can’t help but vibe to Spang Sisters’ tune ‘Oh, Gary Busey’ with its lilting beach-rock chord progression and jazzy beat breakdowns. - Hannah Thacker
