​Secret Emchy Society (from the album Queen of Assholes available on Yay! Agenda Records) (by Danny McCloskey)
Out there on a desert road is a honky tonk that welcomes all with an inclusivity that spins a mixture shit-kicking music and tender words. Secret Emchy Society is the house band. The band offer a peak behind the sawdust haze that rises from the scuffed boots circling the dance floor with their recent release, Queen of Assholes. Secret Emchy Society open the album with the title track lodged in first place for the song cycle, the story confessing ‘all I know is my heart, and all I know this ain’t no way to start. So, if you’re looking for the queen of assholes just hand me the crown…ain’t no way I’ll let you tear me down’. The threat-draped promise climbs on board for a scenic ride across multiple tour stops while a Southwest mariachi rhythm hears the tale in “Corner Orphans” as a warning sign becomes the chorus for “Bears in the Lot”.

Ten years of legendary live shows and four album releases are the background influences for Queen of Assholes. Cindy Emch leads a rabble-rousing band that proves that the only constant is change with their brand of California-bred Country music that embraces humanity as a whole. Secret Emchy Society hears ‘bright lights and big city’ call their name in “Hard Maybe” as they ride under dark skies into “Hallelujah Town”. Queen of Assholes walks through “Lavender Fields” on a sturdy rhythm, introduces “Gay Cowboys”, and draws a line for “Where My Heart is Not” as Secret Emchy Society enjoy a “Night Off” on a dreamscape melody and slow the rhythms to a strum when they comfort a breaking heart hell bent on revelry in “Catalyst”.
