KATY GOODMAN & GRETA MORGAN – ” Sex Beat ” (Gun Club)

La Sera’s Katy Goodman and Springtime Carnivore’s Greta Morgan have been hanging out and spending their time productively, reworking old punk songs by the likes of Bad Brains, The Misfits, The Stooges and more, calming the frenetic pulse of these songs and creating a much mellower vibe. The collection is called “Take It, It’s Yours”, and it’s due out this August.

The first track they dropped was a cover of The Replacements “Bastards of Young” which sounded splendidly feminine and forlorn, and below is their video for their take on “Sex Beat” by LA’s The Gun Club. The original was a jittery punk track, but in the hands of the girls their song takes on a gilded Laurel Canyon earthiness.
“We decided on a simple performance video for ‘Sex Beat’ to show how the record was made,” explains Greta. “Katy and I played all the instruments on Take It, It’s Yours and filmed this video at CompNY Recording, the studio where we actually made the record with our friend and producer Drew Fischer. This is the first video I’ve ever directed and it was so fun that I’ve started working on a bunch more.”

Meanwhile Katy had this to say: “I’ve loved this song since I was a teenager and found Fire of Love at a record store in Seattle. This is one of the first covers we recorded. It came to life quickly and set an awesome tone for the rest of the record.”

The official music video for Katy Goodman & Greta Morgan’s cover of “Sex Beat” by Gun Club, taken from their 2016 collaborative album Take It, It’s Yours, out 8/26. Directed by Greta Morgan.

KATY GOODMAN + GRETA MORGAN | TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS

Katy Goodman of La Sera and Greta Morgan of Springtime Carnivore have teamed up for an album of punk covers entitled Take It, It’s Yours. The LP features the duo’s takes on songs by the Stooges, Blondie, Bad Brains, and a number of other classic outfits. Morgan provided us with some background behind the project’s origin:

The concept of the record began last September when Katy and I were messing around learning Misfits songs on guitar in my backyard. Once we started singing ‘Where Eagles Dare,” we couldn’t stop. Having female voices and girl group harmonies with the lyrics “I ain’t no goddam son of a bitch, you better think about it, baby” felt like a riveting turnaround.
The lead single from Take It, It’s Yours is a cover of The Replacements’ “Bastards Of Young,” the song from which their album title derives its inspiration. Opening not with a tin wire guitar riff but rather a reverb-dipped breeze reminiscent of Real Estate, Goodman and Morgan sweetly sing Paul Westerberg’s opening lines, “God, what a mess, on the ladder of success/ Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung,” as if they actually came from the last Jenny Lewis album. Replacing Westerberg’s guttural throttle with these women’s harmony-driven delivery shifts the original’s mood of dissatisfied confrontation towards one of sardonic defiance. Oddly enough, they omit the “Take it, it’s yours” section of the original.
