Last night I had the great pleasure of opening for the tremendous band The Lascivious Biddies, known as New York's only all-girl cocktail pop quartet. But what they really should be known as is awesome! My friend Shawn met me half-way through the show and at the end of one number was shouting, "I love these girls! I wish I had some pull in my life so I could do something for them." I mentioned that on stage as I was giving away a prize toward the end of the show, and lead singer Lee Ann Westover retorted, "Well, your parts work don't they?" She's a brilliant singer and a witty gem, like a modern-day Judy Garland. I was totally in awe and thoroughly entertained throughout the show, so hopefully we'll be working together again soon! They're playing in the New York area all fall, so be sure to check out a show. Visit their MySpace profile for details!
In addition to it being a great show (with a great audience, I might add) it was also a nice farewell moment for me to the Performance Space at Mo Pitkin's. As I quickly posted below, I just found out that Mo's is closing October 20th. It's a much loved space by everyone in the downtown comedy community that has allowed me personally to do a lot of developing, and for that I will be forever grateful. Mo's is like a home to me, and I have so many memories of it I doubt I'll even be able to remember them all! There will be news to come on many websites I'm sure about the futures of all of the steady shows there, including Chicks, of course. So, as they say, stay tuned!
