Pick O' the Week : Raspuntina

Ok.
Can I get one thing off my chest? I've always had a thing for stringed instruments. Be it violin, viola, cello, or (omg) upright bass, I just can't get enough of that lovely resonance. It may come as no surprise then, that my pick of the week, and recurrent favorite, is Rasputina.













I love the way that they combine a slightly gothic and historic musical aesthetic with dark and clever lyrics. They have a website, if you find yourself intrigued: http://www.rasputina.com/contents.html.


You can check out a recently released live recording of their song "Rats" on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/rasputina. I hope they keep rocking the "mystikally celloriffic" cello rock and next time they play in North Hampton or NYC I'm going even if no one wants to come with me.

So there. Naaah.

The Wonders of Digital Technology and Our New Internet Friends

Somebody out there has a lot of punk records. As in vinyl. And he is encoding them as mp3s. As in the digital format we often use to gather music. And he likes chick bands. And he is sharing them with us via his blog. Sounds like a dream come true? It is!
I emailed him on behalf of the Kick Ass Chicks Radio Show asking for more. And he posted more. And he linked to us. And we love him!
He is Jon at http://www.punkrecords.org/

Here is an extra pic of Vice Squad, fronted by Beki Bondage, to go with our new mp3s of Vice Squad. Thank you!

OOhh.. here's a better link. Here's the myspace link too!

This has been my pick of the week xoxo, Peaches

On the subject of cowboys...

Peaches and I went to see Brokeback Mountain a while ago. While we left the theater weepy, touched, and intrigued with the plight of homosexual cowboy males in the 1960's, we also left with some very specific, shall we say, "plausibility" questions. This definitely doesn't answer anything, but I think it's funny.

Tattoo the Chicks!! A contest.

Ok, so we all were talking the other night and decided that we need matching tattoos. Hey! Don't question this. It has already been decided. We brain-stormed. We contemplated. We seriously considered all sorts of options involving vikings, cats, pirate swords, skulls, cross bones, and cupcakes. Hell, we considered viking cats with eye patches eating cupcake skulls decorated with crossbones.

Long story short: We want some sorta Venus Fly Trap tattoo. And by "some sorta" we mean any sexy, well drawn, carnivorous plant that suits our fancy. This is a very open ended, creative contest. Here's a few images we like:









The rules:
(1) email us at kickasschicks@gmail.com if you wanna play. That's so we know you are at least considering actually drawing something.
(2) Draw us a kickass, way sexy, carnivorous plant suitable for inking on various parts of us, most likely the hip region. This will probably involve one color line work only. There will possibly be some stipple/shading.
(3) We love you forever.

The prizes:
1st- your drawing inked on 3 lovely DJ's
+pictorial evidence for your portfolio
+A couple CD's of some favorites
Not 1st-A couple CD's of some favorites

We'll post any and all submissions on the blog with a link you/your webpage as desired.

They and their promo guydude, Josh over at Disconnected Records, were kind enough to donate a CD to the radio station. We started a new section in the library!!! Many thanks.

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

hey man,
didn't anyone ever tell you that what happens in the VFW Hall stays in the VFW Hall? Me either, until last night. In attempts to present male strippers tastefully : Here's a picture!!


meow!
I'm having trouble figuring out if pictures of guys in G-strings is porn or not. Does anybody know? We've got tons of pics!

additionally, if you were listening to our show during the fund drive last night and heard some one repeatedly say the phone number in an annoying manner, it wasn't me. I SWEAR. It was this crazy cow chick.


REALLY.
