Behold the breath-taking, hip-shaking, eye-candy of SunshineSuperOne, aka Tammy Ealom, the sultry frontwoman of Dressy Bessy, performing tomorrow night at the UMS. As we were cruising around the interweb this morning, we stumbled upon a quintet of videos produced by Ealom for songs from the band's latest effort, Holler and Stomp. Not sure when these videos were produced or if they're even intended for broadcast, but we certainly dug them, and so we thought we'd share. Like Dressy Bessy's m
Seems like Dressy Bessy is all about the videos these days. It was just last month we posted a bevy of Bessy vids and now we have a brand-new bit of eye candy from the delectable popsters.

With Get Your Going you never really know what you're in for, and on
this night, a big black podium sat in the middle of the stage bearing a
sign that read "Crispin Glover Commemorative Puppet Show" in red
letters. After a brief introduction from one animal p
A few weeks ago, we offered up a list of our dream reunions. You responded by offering up dream lists of your own. And as we've been out an about and the subject has been broached over beers, one local name keeps coming up -- the Warlock Pinchers, a now mythical act whose latent irreverence was matched only by its caustic wit. As it turns out, the band reunited last month -- well, as close as we're going to get to a reunion for the time being anyway, when Dan Wanush (aka King Scratchie) of Mu
