Edie Sedgwick: Justin Moyer
built 178 days ago
Edie Sedgwick is the sexy stage name of Justin Moyer from Touch and Go's Supersystem (formerly known as Dischord's El Guapo). Edie wears a slinky cocktail dress and high-heels and sings short songs about celebrities, with her laptop providing the beats. It doesn't sound like much of an original hook, but this music is pretty irresistible.

As Edie Sedgwick, Moyer suggested a trashy male glam rocker who went overboard with the makeup. That he wasn't very convincing as a drag queen was probably by design. Moyer's songs as Edie Sedgwick lampooned pop culture in a dark-humored way, and he needed a goofy look to go with goofy lyrics. Sedgwick viewed popular and celebrity culture as bizarre, twisted, and broken. By naming himself after Warhol's '60s companion, he used the name of a dysfunctional person to comment on pop culture's dysfunction.

Edie Sedgwick is the transgendered reincarnation of a vacuous Warhol Superstar who died of a barbiturate overdose in 1971. Edie was reborn at the dawn of the New Millenium to save the world by singing about celebrities. That's right...armed with only an iPod, she travels the nightclubs of this land called America singing songs that honor the likes of Julia Roberts, Robert Downey, Jr., and, of course, Martin Sheen. Her resemblance to Justin Moyer of DC's El Guapo is purely coincidental.

Since the release of their album First Reflections, the group Edie Sedgwick has transformed itself from a post-punk drum/bass duo to an electronic rock solo project fronted by ex-El Guapo member Justin Moyer. Oh yeah, it might ... be mentioned that Moyer is now apparently in drag and he now goes by the name of the group itself rather than his own moniker. Conceptually, the theory behind Her Love Is Real...But She Is Not reads in a similar way as the other album from the group in that all the songs are about actors and actresses.

Under the name Edie Sedgwick, Moyer appeared in sparkling silver, platform heels and glittery mini-dress before a surprised, sparse audience of reserved indie-rock types. Coated in makeup, he sashayed around the stage and parried the heckler's comments with the usual double entendres that kept Dame Edna up to his falsies in dough.

A new Edie has risen from the ashes of the cross-dresser armed with an iPod, a projector and a microphone who thrilled and terrorized audiences with bizarre performance art routines about celebrities. Edie — really Justin Moyer — is bringing his new, all-star band to the Black Cat on Sunday.
