I’m not a big fans of tribute bands. But I’ve seen The Pretty Babies before and I can recommend them. They’re not only musically quite good, they are just flat out a lot of fun. Tammy Faye Starlite does a great job with vocals and Linda Pitmon, probably the best drummer out there these days (go back and look at yesterday’s video) is on the kit here. Need more info? Here’s the band’s official bio:
The biggest thing to hit the Lower East Side since the original, The Pretty Babies is an alt-rockergirl supergroup Blondie tribute band featuring Mony “The Falconess” Falcone (Sit ‘N’ Spin, BIG) on bass; Bibi Farber (The Richard Lloyd Group, The Ventilators) on keyboards; Heidi Leib (Sit ‘n” Spin, the Lonesome Prairie Dogs) on lead guitar; Linda Pitmon (Steve Wynn’s Miracle 3, The Baseball Project & The Minus 5) on drums; Jill Richmond (The Aquanettas, The Mean Reds) on rhythm guitar; and platinum chanteuse/provocateuse, Tammy Faye Starlite, on lead vocals. A glorious pop-punky-glitter ball- Studio 54-meets-CBGB’s night of late ’70′s decadent delirium awaits the concert goer. Sunday girls lurk fetchingly around the chronometric corner.
Also on the bill tonight are Cathy Cervenka doing Crimes of Passion (Pat Benatar) and New York’s Finest doing Outlandos D”Amour (The Police).
The Pretty Babies, Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street between Thompson and Sullivan Streets (A, B, C, D, E, F or M Trains to West 4th Street), doors 6:30pm / show 7pm (The Pretty Babies are probably on first or second), $12
