Music Feature

Tanner Horn & The Sextronauts

1. Your music is edgy & it pushes the envelope regarding sex and relationships. What reactions do you get from radio programmers when presented with a song like Do Ya With My Mouth?

TH: …And I will quote "Oh wow that's a hit, but I don't think we can take a chance on that it's a bit too edgy." Which I find funny because there are no explicit lyrics. It's suggestive in the best form.

2. Another Sextronauts' track is UP ALL NIGHT. Does that define your lifestyle?

TH: All these songs define my lifestyle. They come from a very real place of experience. I never sit there and say I wonder what will sound crazy to write today. Which is why we have such a raw edgy quality that I think main stream rock is especially missing these days.

3. You are under the process of finding a new lead guitar player. Describe the profile.

TH: SeXrOk God. If he doesn't know in his heart he's the sexiest mofo around then chances are he probably won't have the confidence to be up there with us. And I'm talking about more than just looks here, when I say sexy I mean it exudes in his or her's playing so much it radiates into the music and crowd.

4. You are probably the only LA up & coming rock star who already has about 4 regular stalkers. How do you cope with that?

TH: Oh well. That's just how it goes you know?

5. Is there was going to be a documentary about your life, what would be the title?

TH: I really don't think I would want to have to come up with it. It's always more interesting to see how other people view you.

6. The Sextronauts are also defined by your sense of style. Tell us about The Sextronauts display at Melrose Avenue's hot spot SLOW.

TH: The Sextronauts display at SLOW is great because it solidifies that this is more than a band and I am more than a musician. It has a painting of mine that is 1 of my favorites and the shirts that are for sale are a glimpse into the colorful mind of Tanner Horn outside of music.

7. Part of the Sextronauts live show experience is the fact that you perform with dancers wearing astronaut helmets. Who comes up with this stuff?

TH: I am always evolving the concept of the group and it's visual representation. Just when you think you know what's going to happen when you come see us I will find the next inspiration.

8. At a recent show opening for a big LA band, you handcuffed a member of the audience on stage. Can you expand upon that?

TH: Everything about our act is moment to moment. There is a place for rules and the stage certainly isn't the place.

9. When you perform the "Boom Boom song" you invite another member of the audience to sing with you, simulating sex sounds. Is this the song that defines Tanner Horn & the Sextronauts?

TH: We invite a girl to sing the hook of the song, they usually make it seem like sex sounds! And 1 song could never define this group. Maybe it could define us that day or week but never completely encompass us.

10. Rumor has it on your last show at Club Moscow female members of the audience jumped on stage and tried to undress you, at which point you had to run backstage. Would you be worried about being accused of indecent exposure even if fan originated?

TH: Bring it on!
