Description

ATM SEX is a furious collection of satirical sketches and fearless social commentary that manages to skewer everyone and everything under the sun, often employing the absurd lingo of advertising. It makes fun of the doomed dysfunctional interplay between the sexes, and kicks the ass of our crackpot lifestyles, hysterical consumerism, and overreliance on technogeekery and media-drooling, which are supposed to solve our pathetic lives dominated by tragic consumerism, arrogant gadget-diddling, and rampant narcissism. In Alan Lord, we have finally found an unapologetic un-Canadian over-the-topper, willing to throttle the myriad squawkboxes of our out-of-control dumbed-down zeitgeist.

About the author

There’s a strong possibility Alan Lord may be the world’s only “Trilingual Writer Satirista Musician Songwriter Civil/Structural Engineer Ex-Avant-Scenester”. He built Montreal’s Biodome, penned the Co-Loc’s hit song Bonyeu, broke guitar strings in the legendary Vent du Mont Scharr and now Alan Lord & The Falling Men, opened for the Ramones and B-52’s, and is featured in the documentary film MTL Punk. Now back in hometown Montreal, he has lived in Paris, Toronto, and Santiago (Chile). If ATM Sexdoesn’t give you a heart attack, then you surely have the DNA to reach the crap old age of 100.
