NME reports that The Sex Pistols have launched their own perfume:
The Sex Pistols scent, which comes in packaging based on their ‘God Save The Queen’ single artwork, is currently available in France, and launches in selected shops in the US on September 10. It is not clear yet when it will reach the UK.
The band have not commented on their latest release, but Live Nation Merchandise insisted they were “closely involved” with the launch.
There are also plans to launch a ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ soap later this year.
I smell sex and pi-stols here. (Marcy Playground joke, anyone?).
I feel like I should, but I have no problem with this. Hell, you can buy Never Mind the Bollocks t-shirts at Urban Outfitters, so eff it. Why not make a perfume? At least it’s their own product. Bob Dylan did a Victoria’s Secret commercial a few years ago, Iggy Pop sells car insurance, another punk iconoclast laying prostrate to commerce will not make a difference.
Kings of Leon, I still have my eye on you. Sell outs!!
