- Sex Mob
Sex Mob is a
New York City jazz band, originally formed as aKnitting Factory vehicle for Steven Bernstein to exercise his slidetrumpet . Sex Mob's sets feature a high proportion of covers, usually familiar pop songs, given a humorous, but avant garde treatment. Bernstein points out that this is a return to a fundamental jazz tradition, to take a familiar song then disassemble and reassemble.Members
