The Loaded Nuns claim to be “Lexington’s Most Hated”. I’m assuming they mean ‘band’, not ‘inebriated nuns’, since they’re not really women-of-the-cloth, and nobody could possibly hate a drunk nun anyway*. That’s a pretty audacious boast, since the Hookers are also from Lexington, and just about everybody loathes them, but I will go on faith that most people from Kentucky really, really dislike the Loaded Nuns. You, however, being largely out of their throwing/spitting/shooting range, are probably gonna love ‘em.

I’m not sure there’s anything to know about the band that the name doesn’t already explain. Take a hunk of 50’s greaser-rock, mush it into a pile of 70’s punk, and you’ve got these freaks. A simple formula for sure, but executed with near-surgical finesse, not unlike the way that fat maniac at the diner down the road makes pancakes. You think you know pancakes until you eat one of his, and then whole new doors of perception are blown right open. Same deal here. They’ve got a debut album on the way from Zodiac Killer records, and they play “damn-near every goddamn weekend”, if you are blessed/cursed enough to live in or around Lexington, KY. If not, well, let’s just wait for today’s Track of the Day to circulate around the world for a week or two, and they’re bound to get snagged as the opening act for some world-hopping band. Coldplay, maybe. Prodigy. Who knows?

*A little cursory research reveals several real-life drunk nuns that you could hate, if you really wanted to. For example, there’s Ireland’s own Sister Callida, arrested just last week for being so drunk while babysitting that she fell over on a child. She was apparently well-known for not only tippling and wandering off for days, but for seducing other nuns, as well. According to the report in the Herald, “Two different nuns instructed to keep an eye on her ended up in lesbian relationships with her.” Well, that part sounds kinda sexy, but she’s been accused of all manner of nasty and un-nun-like behavior since the 70’s. Bad loaded nun!

Then, of course, there was the gang of football goons from Bristol who recently got arrested in Crete after dressing up like nuns and hitting a nightclub for a night of drunken excess. According  to the UK Mirror: “They thought it would be a laugh to get togged up as a bunch of nuns at a resort notorious for its boozy behaviour, but angry locals thought otherwise, and called police who charged the gang of 17 – aged 18 to 65 – with exposing themselves and offending religious symbols. One officer said: ‘They were dressed like nuns, carrying crosses, but wearing thongs under their skirts and showing people their bottoms and the rest.’”

Bad fake loaded nuns!

And then, of course, there was that one Polish nun from a few years back, who got drunk and drove a tractor into some dude’s car outside of her convent. The police officer who arrested her noted that she was 17 times over the legal limit for driving anything, never mind a tractor.

Bad…actually, she just sounds like fun.

Anyway, here, courtesy of the band and Zodiac Killer Records, is Drink to Forget by the Loaded Nuns, from the frequently awe-inspiring Drink Fight and Fuck, Vol 3 compilation.
