What the hell, I'll just complete the female trifecta today by bringing up The Ditty Bops. Oh, how to describe them? Dust Bowl Jazz circa 1932 with a snarky punk attitude? Hard to say.
But, more importantly, they have a new album out called Moon Over the Freeway, which I still need to buy. And they are on tour.
But not just any tour, oh no. They are doing The Bicycle Tour. The girls and their band are pedaling their way across the country and playing music for the masses along the way. And they are doing some serious climbing as well. I mean, they are both riding a Surly. I think it's a Cross Check. Check out the blog or this blog and see how serious they are about this tour.
And, come on St. Louis, get them a venue! I'm hoping they'll come through STL via the Katy Trail, as that's on my normal route. If I see anyone riding under a black flag, I'll certainly give my allegiance.
Now, to complete the trifecta, a video for "Wishful Thinking" (nothing from their new album is out yet:
I love the Ditty Bops.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should. They kick ass live, over studio. The discs are great, but they sound 1000 times better with a live band.
