The Atlanta-based quartet The Sexual Side Effects defy easy categorization, seamlessly combining elements of ‘80s post-punk and New Wave with modern pop and indie, served with a healthy splash of space-rock psychedelia, but the band’s overriding focus is clear: bringing their haunting and majestic brand of music to the masses. They joined us for our 5GB series.

Andy Warhol would have approved of the Sexual Side Effects‘ Franken-Party this Friday Jan. 25 at the Drunken Unicorn. A rock ‘n’ roll fantasy collides with an art show. The crowd is scantily but fabulously dressed, clothes replaced by body paint. Go-go dancers twist and shake in Nancy Sinatra boots as multi-colored lights sweep across the dance floor. The epic extravaganza launches SSE’s Franken-Tour across the Southeast and Texas and also boasts Sarasota, Florida’s MeteorEYES, who are on their Winter Migration Tour, and self-proclaimed Atlanta nerd-rock band Go! Robo! Go!

If you thought female grunge was dead, think again. The Sexual Side Effects put a fresh spin on the chick rock movement started by the likes of Courtney Love and Shirley Manson in the ’90s. The band’s debut EP High Maintenance features the hauntingly complex ballad “Aurora,” as well as the single “I’m In Love With A Girl (But She Used To Be A Man),” which offers a comical tone while maintaining the haunting melodies and slow, deep bass that define The Sexual Side Effects sound.

Influenced by post–punk heroes like the Smiths and the Jesus & Mary Chain, Atlanta’s Amber Taylor put the Sexual Side Effects together about two years ago. She’s been a solo performer for a long time, and fronted several bands … and with the right people, she says, she found “the perfect storm” in the current lineup.

Fiery female trio Girl in a Coma melds the power of earlier punk styles with new-millennium attitude and style. And they’re signed to Joan Jett’s label, Blackheart Records. Imagine the Smiths (the band takes its name from that band’s ’80s classic “Girlfriend in a Coma”) and Siouxsie and the Banshees fed through the Pixies punk shredder. And if you haven’t jumped on board the Sexual Side Effects bandwagon yet, now’s the time…

The dreamy indie rock sound of San Antonio’s Girl in a Coma recalls late ’80s shoegaze and mid-’90s alterna-rock. Known for its energetic performances, the band comes to Atlanta with the Honorable South, whose soulful rocking sound is fueled by early R&B influences. Hot off their Texas tour, the Sexual Side Effects look to keep their fire burning with this homecoming performance.

Saturday at the Harvey Milk Festival … where do I begin? With the stellar musical line-up? With the diversity of the never-thinning crowd? With the vibe of overwhelming positivity? With the amazing location in Five Points Park — “amazing” not only for its centrality and loveliness, but for the fact that an event like this one happened there at all?

For this upcoming Texas outbreak, The Side Effects have run away with the counterculture collective known as the Revolution Circus! With the added carnie camp of the Revolution Circus’ jugglers, dancers and other performers, The SSE will be more than ready to take on the expected crowd of 60,000 that will be awaiting at the main stage of the Houston Pride Festival, where the band will be opening for Sarah Golden from NBC’s The Voice. And upon the band’s return to Atlanta, Amber and her boys will be hosting Texas band Girl in a Coma, sharing a bill at the EARL.

It would be understandable to expect The Sexual Side Effects to be a lot more outrageous than they are, especially when one of their songs is provocatively titled “I’m in Love With a Girl (But She Used to Be a Man).” But there’s no camp or confrontation on their EP High Maintenance …
