"The Anabolics live at Plaid, 2/11/04"

So I walk into this gig thinking I'm 15 minutes late for The Twenty-Twos who I thought were on at 10. Turns out they wouldn't be on for another hour at least - and while normally this would call for making a direct bee line to the bar for an extended menage a trois between me the bartender and Mr. Maker's - but that's when The Anabolics stepped in to make it an even greater night of music and save my liver - temporarily - from even more damage.
Like the nutritional supplement that shares their name, they certainly aren't lacking for strength and power. With a sleek line-up of guitar, keyboard, and drums The Anabolics make music that virtually jumps off the stage - a fuzzy poppy punky raw like sugar sound. All three -Annabelle, Anne, and Marcelo contribute equally to the vocal stylings - which on a stage as wide as Plaid's certainly keeps crowd an photographers alike on their toes. And similar to The Flesh this past Halloween, and Bling Kong every night, they emboldened their set with a true team spirit by busting out their own uniforms - which so perfectly matched the tone of their songs that the proper words to describe the dovetailing escape me. - Jenyk.com


"EP Review"

Straight outta the 1950s with four songs of rudimentary three-chord trash rock. At least Careena Collins finally gets the musical recognition that she deserves. –Puckett - Razorcake.org

Bio

We are The Anabolics. We play garagey power pop. Our songs are about exes we kicked to the curb, people we love, people we hate, cheating, lying, scorned lovers, and stalkers. We have one song that’s in Spanish. It’s called Vaya Con Dios. The rest are in English. We sound like the bastard child of The Shangri-Las and The Clash. We dress in miniskirts, fishnets, go-go boots, sunglasses and leather. We got together in New York City in the summer of 2003. We started playing shows that fall. Where we came from doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the next move. We have played all over New York and in lots of other places too, across the US, Scandinavia, and the South Pacific. When we play live, people get up and dance. Everywhere we go, we make friends and enemies. Either way, people remember us. We have a full length CD and two EPs out. We’re in the process of recording more songs. More recording and more live shows. That’s the plan. You can check us out at www.theanabolics.com and myspace.com/theanabolics. There are songs and photos and other exciting things there too. You can reach us at info@theanabolics.com. We love you.
