Spanking Charlene, winners of Little Steven’s Underground Garage’s “Best Unsigned Band in America” contest are a New York City band whose latest record “Where are the Freaks” (produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel) is inspired by NYC nightlife, the quest for the party that never ends, sex, romance, infidelity, gossip, and gentrification in the city where anything can happen at any time. Spanking Charlene’s soul-punk sound is a blend of singer Charlene McPherson’s dynamic vocals with the bands straight hard driving guitar grooves. Little Steven Van Zandt produced and released two Spanking Charlene singles (“Dismissed with a Kiss” and “Canarsie”), both were featured regularly on Van Zandt’s syndicated Underground Garage radio show.
