# True sounds of the underground with Tonetta
Running across **Tonetta** in 2008 was a life revelation. Youtube hardly
lacks weird, homemade videos that defy reality, but watching this
50-something Canadian man flex and shake while wearing angel masks and
strange makeup, singing about rough, gay sex in the sweetest manner
imaginable and completely unironically....it was like a doorway into a
wonderful, mutant universe. The fact that some of these videos and
scratchy, lo-fi tracks are from 1983 just makes it even more amazing.
You feel like you're watching something found at a crime scene. After
being an underground youtube sensation for a year or two, he was picked
up by in 2010 by **Black Tent Press** to have his classic and new
material released for the first time. I'll let the videos speak for
themselves. Behold the world of Tonetta.
