Sounds Like
B-52's, Rocky Horror Picture Show, 60's girl groups
Brooklyn-based theatrical glam rock group blends horror, sci-fi, and surfing into a unique experience - gorgeous singers and dancers clad in bikinis and matching wigs, backed by a three piece band. Infectious tunes, catchy lyrics - "Horror Flick Chicks", "Alien Surfer Babes” and of course, "Witches in Bikins" - are guaranteed to haunt your brain.
"A bevy of beauties in bikinis...you're real singers, you're real dancers obviously...Witches in Bikinis rock! Witches in Bikinis rule!" -Dee Snider, Fangoria Radio
"Wow! This is my favorite band of all time!...I love you guys!" -Debbie Rochon, Fangoria Radio
"... never have I been so well entertained. With nasty rifts that made me remember Rock of the 60's "
"the fun of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" without the transvestite & gore"
"I will not miss a show near me ever. And neither should you!"
God Bless
