Nazi Pop Twins
It’s a commonly accepted fact that neo-fascists have extraordinarily poor taste in music. Anyone would think that they have poor judgement generally, but for now let’s stick to the music: all that bad metal; all that shouting. You’d think they’d want to unwind a bit after getting all stressed and hyped up with their day-to-day Nazism: the constant marching (goose-stepping is very wearing on the joints, I’m told), the bellowing of ignorance, and all those close-typed leaflets they hand out. But no: it’s stout tattooed skinheads, frenetic thumping, and gruff, angry slogans about white supremacy all the way.
One striking departure from fat, bald thugs screaming is Prussian Blue - a girl group who are sort of a Nazi version of the Olsen twins. But whereas the Olsens appeal to fans of anodyne family fun, Prussian Blue appeal to fans of Aryan racial hegemony. The twins, Lamb and Lynx Gaede, are two blonde, blue-eyed 14-year-olds from Bakersfield, California. They wear mini-skirts and T-shirts with yellow smiley faces on them (ah, cute), but the yellow smiley faces are actually Hitler (ahh… not so cute), complete with moustache and ‘distinctive’ hairdo (I’m not making this up!*).
So, it’s like Girl Power. Except it’s White Girl Power.
‘We are proud of being white,’ says Lynx - which comes as little surprise given that their shows incorporate Seig Heil salutes, and that one of their songs, ‘Sacrifice’, is dedicated to Hitler’s deputy leader Rudolf Hess (a ‘man of peace who wouldn’t give up.’ Yup, that was the Nazis alright. All about the peace.)
Other notable tracks include ‘Road to Valhalla’ (See? All about the peace.) and ‘Aryan Man, Awake’. Lyrics include: “Strike force! White survival. Strike force! Yeah.” So as you can see, they do have a sound intellectual basis for their controversial beliefs right there.
Some of their gigs are at Holocaust denial festivals. Maybe not that one in Iran though. Not sure. But despite the fact that Iran is where Aryans originally come from, they just aren’t white enough nowadays, apparently. Or maybe the twins didn’t live up to the dress-code. Yeah, that’s more likely.
How do the conversations go at these festivals, anyway?
‘I don’t believe the Holocaust happened.’ ‘Me neither.’ ‘Let’s get a beer.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘Is David Irving coming this year?’ ‘Nah, he’s in jail in Austria.’ ‘Tsk, Bloody Austrians.’ ‘Don’t make ‘em like they used to, that’s for sure.’
Erich Gliebe, operator of notorious rate-hate label Resistance Records, which unleashes releases Prussian Blue’s efforts, reckons young performers like Lamb and Lynx will expand the base of white nationalism: ‘Eleven and twelve years old,’ he contends, ‘I think that’s the perfect age to start grooming kids and instil in them a strong racial identity.’ Grooming how, like a pony?
Lamb and Lynx were “groomed” by their mother April - who has home-schooled them using textbooks from the 1950s (and Tintin for recreational reading, maybe. God knows.) - and by their grandfather. He’s hilarious: he’s got a swastika on his belt-buckle, a swastika on the side of his pick-up truck, and a swastika registered as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification. So he definitely likes swastikas. And, one might infer, pure-bred cattle.
Here’s Lynx again, expanding on her musical philosophy: ‘We want to keep being white, we want our people to stay white… We think our race is different to other races in positive ways and that we’ve done more for civilisation.’
You have to wonder, though, exactly what benefit civilisation will garner from two barely pubescent girlies gyrating in front of a seething crowd of mostly male white supremacists. The core audience and target market of this pop group would appear to be Nazi paedophiles. Which even the most ardent fascist must appreciate is, in public relations terms, something of a double-edged sword.
Oh, and if you want to ‘keep being white’, here’s a handy tip: move the fuck out of California.
Otherwise you’ll tan, for sure.
You could buy sunblock, but at best, that’s only a short-term solution…
*There’s a documentary, ‘Nazi Pop Twins’, about them on C4 on Thursday. See them for yourself in all their freaky, fucked-up actuality!
