Wrong Body Has Right Sound with "Big"

Big out now and available for purchase on Bandcamp.

Big, the first LP from Boston's Wrong Body, takes notes from Fugazi-era post-hardcore, modern indie rock and dare we say a pinch of hard rock harmonies and riffs, but has all post-punk heart. Ghost Thrower summed it up best when they tweeted "Fucking @WRNGBDY is the best band you're not listening to."

Strip-Zeppelin at Club Oberon

Get your tickets now for Strip - Zeppelin Burlesque

For one night only, comedian and vocalist, Niki Luparelli, brings to Club Oberon, Harvard Square, Cambridge, on Friday, May 2, her Strip Zeppelin spectacular, a live music and burlesque explosion blending the best of Led Zeppelin with the best of Boston’s burlesque and aerial artists.

With a stage persona that deftly combines the best of Marilyn Monroe, Bette Midler, and Dean Martin, Niki Luparelli has been wowing area audiences for years with her pin-up girl curves, powerful singing voice, bawdy wit, and adorable drunk act.

Always sassy, brassy, and nigh to bursting from her bustier, Luparelli, cocktail in hand, leads her band the Gold Diggers (aka the Misty Mountains) and a breathtaking array of neo-burlesque performers eager to give you every inch of their love in tribute to the original Hammer of the Gods.

The burlesque performers will include Boston-based exotic extraverts Babes in Boinkland, campy maniac Ginny Nightshade, turquoise haired beauty Bettysioux Tailor, the sinewy and sumptuous Malice in Wonderland, Sparkletown Productions’ & the Glitter Bombs’ Jane Doe, acrobatic aerial ecdysiast Fonda Feeling, and silks divinity Zoso LaRos. Oh my gosh, so many fun words!

Bishop And Rook highly supports scantily clad stage performers and mixed media art. This event is 18+ with valid ID. Tickets are $20-$30 and are available at www.cluboberon.com. Find full details on the official Facebook event page.
