ABOUT THE BANDS

Richard Bacchus and the Luckiest Girls - Montreal, CA
Richard Bacchus and the Luckiest Girls mix the sparkle and boogie of T. Rex with the sleazy street wise sneer of the New York Dolls and top it off with a healthy dose of angst-ridden punk pop in the vein of the Buzzcocks and the Pixies.

LAM! LAM! - Durham, NC
Betsy Shane (ex-Relatively Calm, Pink Paisley Sofa, Sparklepants) has stepped up to create a simultaneously adorable and perverse blend of rock and dance music. Heavily influenced by the likes of Chicks on Speed, Peaches and Miss TK and the Revenge, LAM! LAM! chews up your subconscious desires and spits them back at you with a sassy uhn-tiss uhn-tiss uhn-tiss.

Saints Will Do - Durham, NC
Start with 2 parts ex-Autocade rhythm section, well-seasoned and slightly aged. Add singer/songwriter extraordinaire. Mix in a lead guitarist from Chicago. Flanked by one wife, a girlfriend or two, two dawgs, three cats, a crappy 4-track cassette machine, a cramped practice room, Durham Bulls baseball games and Wednesday pint nights at Tyler's Tap Room. The result: a collective entity that met over the wonderous internet to play rock music and have a lot of fun doing it. The only regret: not getting this thing together sooner.

Picture this: 305 South Durham (on 305 South Dillard St), Friday Night (14th), 8pm. You buy a 6er (or two) of your fav beer and bring it to the event. You pay 5 bucks if you're broke, or up to 8 if you're generous, knowing all the proceeds will go to Celiac Disease. 10 of your fav Roller Derby personalities skate the runway in lingerie, 80s prom dresses and a surprise finish (and you have the chance to win cool prizes!). Then, the Dirty Little Heaters and the Veldas light the party up, with some rock and roll for a good cause.

Seriously, why WOULDN'T you come?

Hi!

It's me, that girl who is doing a documentary on lesbian and queer Identity in the Triangle, NC. If you live in the Triangle, and you'd be so kind as to go here (http://www.duke.edu/~blr35/identit…) and fill this out, you'd make my day. And once again, if you have any time tomorrow (Sunday) or Tonight for a video interview, please let me know!

The survey should only take like 10-15 minutes of your time, and would help me so so much.
