Next up were the Plantation-based glamsters of Fashionista (formerly the Nerve), who explored a set of guitar effects heavy songs very much in the vein of the Smiths, the London Suede, and the happier moments of the Cure. Flamboyant singer Anthony Jacobson stood front and center, sporting a long quiff of dangling hair in danger of sliding right off his head, eyes rolling to the heavens, and an annoying tendency to get his la-la's out with an overabundance of distracting tongue gymnastics. Some of the band's songs, such as "Kids in Stereo" and "Panic Attack" (available soon on a demo CD) have a calculated Britpop feel that Fashionista's press kit says offers an alternative to "a music scene ruled by the insipid and testosterone-saturated." Sad but true.
