Tex Perkins & His Ladyboyz

Tex Perkins & His Ladyboyz – ‘Hold The Line’ (mp3)

Whether it’s his work with Beasts of Bourbon, his collaboration with Tim Rogers or his most recent piss-take work with “the fifth-best covers band in the country” The Ladyboyz, Tex Perkins is yet to disappoint me.

In light of Tex Perkins and His Ladyboyz’ stellar rendition of “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar” on 2007’s No Man’s Woman compilation, they’ve released Number Ones and Number Twos, a collection of cover songs usually relegated to cover bands in RSLs and cruise ships worldwide.

Dodgy harmonies notwithstanding, Perkins and his Ladyboyz’ version of Toto’s “Hold The Line” is surprisingly faithful to the original. Check out the hilarious infomercial for Number Ones & Number Twos.
