***In the mid-70s, Welsh musician/producer LAURICE bridged the gap separating tuff psychedelia and camp glam rock. Now, the Master of Camp does it again! Bad Boy, the brand new album by Laurice, covers many styles of the rock genre, including punk, metal, space rock, pop, and yes, glam rock. Plus, there is a surprise bonus track: a rollicking updated version of his 1972 punk rock classic “When Christine Comes Around,” originally recorded with his band GRUDGE. Bad Boy is destined to become a classic by the discerning listener and is a terrific new chapter in the career of this 75-year-old veteran of the global music scene. 200 pressed. Comes in hand-numbered silk-screened jacket.

***LAURICE is an out and out pioneer both of music and gay activism, and decided to make GAYDAR a sexual calling card for his fans around the world. This album is totally gay from the first track to the last. "Brokeback Mountain" leads the pack with a stomping rock dance beat that entertains from beginning to end. The hot sexual heat of "Big Boy," "Hot Malibu Nights" and "Fantasy Man" will shock the listener with its lewd upfront lyrics. "Down The Road," "Busted" and "Party" highlight the hang loose lifestyles of some in the gay subculture. With a more thoughtful and pounding dance beat, "Fly" and the titled "GAYDAR" track draw attention to the sexual longing of the older gay man sometimes in hot pursuit of a younger punk to decorate bedroom and dungeon sex antics. The final track, "Sugar Sugar" is the well known pop standard with a very decided gay slant to the lyric. Laurice was asked to send in a version of the song for a New York radio charity show. The record company liked it so much that they decided to include it on the album.

***NOW AVAILABLE ON CD!!! ’70s rock meets mainstream British pop in an explosive style fusion of pre-punk, glam, psychedelic and gay themed musical gems by controversial British rocker LAURICE. Recorded in the early to mid-70s at various studios in London, UK, these tracks, many previously unreleased, demonstrate the versatility and originality of a singer-songwriter who challenged society’s rules. British rock was always Laurice’s roots. From the pre-punk underground classic hits “When Christine Comes Around/I’m Gonna Smash Your Face” In to the heavily impassioned openly gay anthem “He’s My Guy” and the highly sexualized gay lyrics of “Wild Sugar”, to the S&M master-slave darkside of “Born To Serve,” Laurice constantly challenged himself and his musical peers to explore out of the mainstream music box. His influences ranged from Lou Reed and Cream, to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and various ‘70s British pop bands. Take a listen to this treasure trove of incredible tracks. Laurice was a star, far ahead of his time, and suffered mightily for fighting the conventions of the day.
