Referring to the old John Waters adage asserting that entertainment is inseparable from bad taste, few bands exercise that sentiment to the extent that does Ssion. Ssion (pronounced "shun") is a 10-years-strong art-punk dance, design, and film collective from Kansas City, Missouri, headed by Cody Critcheloe. The group has gained notoriety not only for its gay-disco-meets-punk-rock musical stylings, but also for its outrageous stage shows and videos, which incorporate a harem of dancers and backup singers, comically cheap homemade props, supersized video projections, over-the-top costumes and makeup, and a visual sense of wonder recalling something between the twisted humor of Pee Wee's Playhouse and Madonna's Blond Ambition.
