Bands, bands, bands
So, what have I been up to now? Well, the last “3 Punk Bands & a Drag Queen” show on Thurs Mar. 27th was fun. Drag Queen Jordan L’Moore looked great and did a funny number with a tray full of fake cocaine that got some laughs. The bands were The East Bay Chasers, Fracas, and Slowfinger. Slowfinger went...

From Philly with Love
It’s been a minute, and i don’t know where to start, but i’ll give it a go… The philly scene has been rippin and runnin’ with a few highlights, a few new djs & clubs, a few new shows. Benetton opened its doors on Chestnut street with a grand opening featuring dj Qool Marv, and dj Sasha (Codek records)... Continue »
Screen Actors Guild for the win
With the war very much on people’s minds, it’s been a difficult balancing act for the Hollywood community to say, “the show must go on.” While I won’t get into my personal politics here, the changes and comments made at this year’s Oscar ceremony will go down in the history books. I had my fill of the awards show... Continue »
3 Punk Bands and a Drag Queen
So this looming war thing is pretty weird, huh? No one I know seems to care enough to mention it, and frankly, I’m a little freaked. I guess I’ll leave it at that because I don’t think anyone really cares what I think, and what I think won’t stop it from happening if it’s going to. My take on... Continue »
First Post of 2003
It all went so fast! The holidays were such a blur of shows, parties and chaos, that I think I’m still recovering. In December, I got notification that we had won a Jane Magazine competition for our Joey Ramone song, and I won a Shure microphone songwriting contest as well, so they started on a high note. Then Mickey... Continue »
Honor the Singer-Songwriters
While the country was on high alert for terrorism, nothing was going to stop me from going to the weekend-long LA Shakedown. If I’m going down, I’m doing it shakin’ my hips to some full-tilt garage rawk! With over 60 bands, two locations and a party bus, it was one hell of a weekend. Read the full report HERE....

Back online / GBH!
Hey coolgrrrls readers. I’ve been without a computer for 2 weeks and it nearly drove me insane. If it wasn’t for a little visit from my past, I don’t know how I would’ve survived it! I am of course talking about my favorite punk band of all time, GBH (!), who played with another great from the past, The... Continue »
What’s Up Everyone?
The new year has brought me interesting new finds in Nashville. For starters, I happened to hear DJ Terry Grant at the what is now former Liquid Lounge on New Years Eve. He is one of the few DJs I have run across in this town that really knows how to kick it. When I first arrived, I sized... Continue »
Lots of Reading Material Here
Hey all you Coolgrrrls… All is well in my world. I’ve had so going on (as usual) since I last wrote an update. I have gone off on my own from Boobie Trap and I am going solo! I am currently putting together another project, not because I dont’ love Boobie Trap- but because it is just time to... Continue »
New Year New Post
In Los Angeles, we don’t really have a winter season. But who wants to walk around in big coats and ski caps anyway? Our sunny city has AWARD SHOW SEASON, honey and it’s all about trophies and fabulous gowns! I got the opportunity to make the round of celebrations this week with stars galore. First up, the People’s Choice... Continue »
An update!
Tidbits, tidbits, tidbits! Okay first of all I have to say that I am now entering my fifth (or is it sixth?) year at coolgrrrls.com! Technically speaking, the site has come a long way since then, and we’ve had so many great girls from all over the world join us. I’m still happy to be a part of it.... Continue »
Dallas, December and New Year!
Hey Coolgrrrls readers. I had a fun visit to Dallas for the Christmas holiday. While there, I saw Hagfish, whose drummer Tony Barsottie, an old friend, is absolutely phenomenal. He’s one of the best drummers around, and I know because I see a lot of bands from all over the country on a regular basis. I also saw old... Continue »
Introducing my Band Members
Yes, I’m back…as you all knew I would be! After spending the entire summer drunk on rum and pineapple juice, I have been hibernating in my apartment trying to give my liver a much needed rest. But isn’t that was summers are for? Having fun and partying till dawn? I mean, especially in Manhattan where parties don’t even BEGIN... Continue »
Busy, busy, busy
Wow. Since we returned from tour Detroit has just been a whirlwind of activity. Recently I attended a benefit extravaganza for the one and only Tony DeNardo. Held at the best beer-hole on the east side, the Cadieux Cafe, the benefit was to help Tony raise the funds he needs to head out to California to partake in some... Continue »
Super Exhibit
I just went to see the MICK ROCK Psychedelic Renegades exhibit last night – TOTALLY excellent: www.vividimagesdesign.com/syd/ Check it out – it’s at the Fuse/Lit gallery on 2nd Ave. between 5th & 6th Streets. The show is Mick’s photos of Syd Barrett. Syd Barrett is just amazing – also knowing his history and the history of Pink Floyd. I... Continue »
Got Lots of Time on My Hands
Hey… I’m back! Yeh, it has been a busy few months for me. Candy for Bad Children is finally in full swing! So, I’m hoping to update this page on a regular basis from here on… Yeh, that’s right. We’re Really Rockin’ in Boston… There’s a new band in town… kinda a Rock City Mafia supergroup. Tim Catz of... Continue »
Last Post of the Year
It’s the cold and flu season and it seems everyone around here has been sneezing lately – it even knocked this Grrrl off her feet for a few days. But no amount of sniffles could keep me from shooting a segment for E! Entertainment’s “Wild On,” when the show’s producer asked me to host a segment on Hollywood club... Continue »
Gig update
I have just been having way too much fun lately. I had a blast in LA seeing Sigue Sigue Sputnik. They sounded really good, and too few people appreciate how ahead of their time they were when they emerged in 1986. They were "electroclash" before it was defined recently. I got my photos taken w/ singer Martin Degville and... Continue »
