Desert Sharks “Don’t Know How To Dress for the Apocalypse”

Released in late 2019, when heard today “I Don’t Know How To Dress For The Apocalypse” sounds like a warning from our past future present. Over a buzzing rush of power chords the Desert Sharks’ lead yelper and bass player Stephanie Gunther laments “the world’s a disaster / our leader wants to get there faster.” Mission accomplished. Fast-forward to October 2020 and the power-trio-plus-one have stayed busy with everything from a Zoom-tastic cover of the Misfits’ “Hybrid Moments” to a feature on the queer-friendly Twitch rock ‘n’ roll hootenanny I Want My HYB hosted by Astoria’s own Hell Yeah Babies in benefit of The Okra Project—a charity providing meals to Black Trans people-in-need prepared by Black Trans chefs. (Jason Lee)
