If you want to know what other bands think of Screaminย Cyn Cyn and The Pons, just check the groupยs MySpace page: ยYour lead singer fucked up your entire set by dressing like such an idiot.ย This review, from a band called President Fluid, is posted on Cyn Cynยs site, along with pictures of the Madison foursome sporting everything from pink dresses (only one of them is female) to nautical-themed costumes (their pudgy drummer dons a vest and sailorยs hat). Weยre hoping the group isnยt taking President Fluidยs words to heart, as the membersย kooky fashion sense is a perfect companion to their quirky pop punk ditties, which address important topics like setting the kitchen table, falling in love with a lesbian and slumber parties. Sounds pretty juvenile, but most of the members of Cyn Cyn are pushing 30. With lyrics like ยYou froze my panties / I froze your bra / Your brother went in for a Klondike bar / But I donยt think he saw,ย youยll either cringe or laugh, but with Cyn Cyn, chances are youยll be tapping your toes all the while. Chim Charoo and the all-female rockers of Retro Spandex kick things off.
