Sissy Boy Slap Party was Ryan Schreiber (pitchforkmedia.com) and Jason Josephes (Blue Moon).
Songs were recorded in 1996 and 1997 on a lousy Panasonic tape recorder.
There are no production values, but don’t let it dampen your enjoyment.

THE CRITICS AGREE!
"Tom Waits’ 'Postcard From A Hooker in Minneapolis' be damned - 'In Defense of Prostitution' is the finest tepid tale of innocence lost and heartbreak personified through meaningless sex with myriad partners for small sums of money in recent memory. [Four stars!] -- Lizz Kannenberg, nodessertforyou.com
"Listening to the songs makes me hope that no one gets hold of any recordings my friends and I made during our 'band' days. Or, if they do, I hope they send them to me since I can't seem to find any of them. In my head, our songs 'TSS' and 'Cute Mailboy' are classics that would make cub proud! Possibly along the lines that Sissy Boy Slap Party's 'In Defense of Prostitution' is timeless bedroom aggro-pop." -- Imaginary Liz, threeimaginarygirls.com
"Ever wonder what the band of two of the founding member’s of Pitchfork would sound like? I most certainly have. And I’m pleased to announce such a band sounds hilarious and refreshingly free of the high minded seriousness often associated with Pitchfork. (who, as mentioned before… we like just fine… please no hate mail.) Said band is Sissy Boy Slap Party, a two piece recorded on a “lousy Panasonic Tape Recorder†by Jason Josephes and Ryan Schreiber circa 1996/1997. Schreiber is still with Pitchfork, while Josephes (JJ) is now our friendly booker and sound guy at the wonderful Blue Moon Tavern and keyboardist in my beloved Hopscotch Boys." -- Abbey Simmons, soundonthesound.com
