Teddy of Minimizer has gone from frontman to, well, the other way around. He didn’t realize quite what a stir he’d cause when he exposed his backside for the band’s debut CD Brief.

(You’ll have to buy a copy to get the full effect. Teddy’s pretty skimpily dressed, in his accustomed T-shirt and short-shorts, on the cover, but saves the full reveal for the inside lyrics page.)

The main problem is that having heard of this penchant for exhibitionism, the band’s fans—and mostly its hecklers—are exhorting Teddy to do the CD stunt live. It added a little saucy fun to Minimizer’s set Saturday night at Hamilton’s, but only for like a minute. Then it became really annoying.

As many a burlesque artist has learned, less is more. Like, Brief should’ve been an EP.
