Pink Nasty 'Mold the Gold' album

Pink Nasty is more than just another standard-fare singer-songwriter in this dense indie landscape. In addition to her offbeat, whimsical demeanor and her brother being the unassumingly filthy rapper Black Nasty, Pink Nasty's brand of twangy Americana contains more than enough ingenious recklessness to catapult Mold The Gold above the tired-and-true comfort of the general country-rock mindset. While ballads like "Hot Pink House" have a grandiose undercurrent of classic tragedy at work, "Take It Back" is a downright joyous power-pop anthem. The legendary Will Oldham even makes an appearance on "Don't Ever Change," the bizarro world version of Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra doing their thing for our generation. Mold The Gold is much brighter than the recent crop of backwoods navelgazers and Pink Nasty lets her spirited songs ring as a welcome change of pace. FCC Warning: "Shit" on # 2, "Fuck" on # 13.

Biography

Five Biographical Facts about the singer/songwriter Pink Nasty aka Sara Beck, who is from Wichita, KS, 24 years old and is a SWF.

5. Pink Nasty has just completed her second album, the neurotic pop rock masterpiece "Mold the Gold"--recorded in Shelbyville, Kentucky by Paul Oldham and Steve Squire in Kansas and Texas. The record was written by Pink and her brother Black Nasty and is really, really great. "Mold the Gold" is a collection of thirteen off-beat, melodic hits that include the epic suburban-apathy-under-the-looming-threat-of-a-masturbating-serial-killer ballad "BTK Blues", the stunningly dramatic opener "I Don't Know" (complete with reggae breakdown and five Pink Nastys cooing "by by by bye bye bye bye!"), the silly uptempo bubblegum pop of "Take it Back", the ethereal folk beauty of "Golden Smoke", the post coital soul dirge of "Danny", the zippy Spoon rip off "Dirty Soap", the bombastically spooky title track and the over-the-top album closer "Don't Ever Change", her power duet with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy that will no doubt replace "The Time of My Life" as one of musics most enduring ballads. The record is so good and would appeal to fans of Pavement, Fiona Apple, Guided by Voices, Ashley Simpson, Wilco--everybody!

4. Pinks first album, the self released "Mule School", was called a "disgustingly good little record" by Harp Magazine, 'a bold, addictive debut: plenty spicy but with hooks to match" by Rollingstone.com and won raves from Greil Marcus, Allmusic.com and city weeklies all over America. Venus Magazine panned it.

3. Pink Nasty was asked by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy to join the backing band of his joyous, blockbusting Southeastern Tour. She is featured prominently on the resulting live album "Summer in the Southeast". Her rendition of Bonnie's "May it Always Be" is one of the highlights of that jubilant album!
2. At last years SXSW she was asked to play on the same showcase as WolfMother, Annie and Jose Gonzalez. PN knocked off a lot of socks (the lost and found at the club was a mob scene!) with an electrifying set. Pink Nasty now lives in Austin with her brother/song writing partner Black Nasty. She has played shows with Smog, Jana Hunter, Brothers and Sisters and Mark Kozelek. She is a hostess at a disgusting restaurant and is hounded/abused by her manager Joe: a greasy old Belgian man with a silver pony tail, gooey eye and a quick, sexually charged, coked up temper. She has got to get out of there.
