Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
After playing the NYC circuit in various bands for several years, Singer/Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist Sy Boccari started Naked Highway as a platform for his own auditory vision - paying tribute to his Post-Punk, Alternative and New Wave heroes with the same charisma, ironic humor and pop flare of so many great front-men before him. Rock 'N' Roll showmanship, effected-guitar riffs, rhythmic electro beats and life-in-three minutes lyrics! A new sound is born: ELECTRODIVAPUNK! Naked Highway is ballsy and brash...a scintillating respectable bleat from the urban consciousness. The band's strongest element is its hybrid of styles and ambiance immersed in modern technology. Modern techno beats reflecting those of a society that is unforgiving yet tolerant, and the not so unfamiliar universal resentment and frustration of always living on the edge of attainment and absolution.

Product Description
Novocaine Smile is jam-packed with catchy hooks while maintaining it's serrated urban New York City roots. The album adheres to no set style or boundaries and yet presents itself as a cohesive artistic statement. From the bilingual electro-porn dance-anthems "Peepshow" and "Better Off Naked" to the melancholic Velvet Underground inspired "The Substitute," the new-wave rock-tinged "Driving At Night" and the experimental hip-hop of "Mr. Disco"; Novocaine Smile is a pan-sexual, multi-stylistic stew of sounds, as diverse as the city it was created in.

Erotic Caberet 2005.......2005-02-04

Not since Soft Cell has an artist taken cold dispassionate machines and turned them into an expression for sleaze, romance and nihilism. Sy Boccari sounds like a young Marc Almond. His music is a 21st century paean of sleazy gay sex, dance floor politics, disconnected sexuality on the internet and shows that underneath it all there is still human passion and romance. Think of this CD as the fulfilled promises of Soft Cell's Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret brought to the next level. Sy Boccari manages to wring depth of feeling from samplers, keyboards and guitars making please for love and lust in the 21st Century. Unapologetically gay and sleazy, this CD may not be for the faint of heart. But it is for those seeking a new groove and more depth over the rebirth of the Electronica movement. Here is the soul of the new machine. Stand out tracks are "The Substitute" (now beginning to find its way into dance clubs and alternative music radios), "Better Off Naked", "Peepshow" and "Out The Door" (which is a song Marc Almond may end up envying as his own.) The last track, an instrumental, "TV Tonight" is chilling, comforting and spacey. This is the CD for long late night drives on the highway with your iPod.
