MUSICAL CHAIRS

Rita: We could make up a lot of new bands and report it to you but we wouldn’t want to lose your trust. So, here is the latest movement of musicians that we painstakingly researched so you’d be able to impress your friends with your knowledge. JASON BERUBE (Scallywags) is now on bass with ANGELINE. *** Drummer NANCY DELANEY plays her last gig with the CELLO CHIX on Thursday, July 10, at the Lizard Lounge. There may also be a final final gig at the Plough & Stars in September but that’s not definite. Nancy is currently playing with the LIZ BORDEN BAND. *** MICHAEL EPSTEIN (The Motion Sick) has coupled up with SOPHIA BLISS (Blitzkriegbliss) to do a minimalist garage art-rock thing they call DO NOT FORSAKE ME OH MY DARLING. That name might sound strange if you weren’t a fan of The Prisoner. *** VESSELA STOYANOVA and VALERIE THOMPSON have a new project called GOLI that will have an EP by the time you read this. *** HEIDI SAPERSTEIN (Snowleopards) has brought together JOEL READER (the Fatal Flaw), NAOKO TAKAMOTO (That Handsome Devil), and JEFF HARRINGTON (Snowleopards) to create BALLS. *** SLUTS have changed their name to DEFEATER, traded their 15-passenger van in for a veggie oil powered van, created Greencore, a non-profit volunteer-based environmental awareness program, and recorded a new album entitled Travels. *** TRAVELS includes members of VICTORY AT SEA and METAL HEARTS. Lolita: Will Travels complete the mirror image and release a CD titled Defeater?
