Whore's Mascara: Friends with (Monogamous) Benefits.

This past Thursday,  Chaz Kourday, Lonni Bahls and Georgia Haege -- the downtown synth-pop band trio Whore's Mascara -- held a release party for their new single "Monogamous." The video, featuring the band's friends, friends-of-friends, hairstylists, and even roommates-of-hairstylists, was directed by fashion photographer Patrik Andersson, who has shot the likes of Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mick Jagger.

"The idea was to have a wedding party gone mad, the evolution from proper to decadent. I knew that my goal was to push the decadence," said Andersson of the shoot.

While the video's casting might evoke the song, "That's what friends are for," Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager they are not. With musical roots in 1980s electro-pop, Whore's Mascara's live acts feature darkly comedic riffs on everything from political figures to Manhattan club culture - with enough puns and double entendres to make a whore blush.
