Might as well jump

The punXercising Jezebels - Gina, Royale and Mary Popp - indulged in some pre-Vampire Beach Boys warmups. They used to have a regular Zaphod's gig keeping the hipsters in shape; more recently they opened for The Hidden Cameras. Theys did their routines to covers of The Sounds; Chicks on Speed; The Vibrators' Keep It Clean; Andrew W.K.; The Slits' cover of Heard It Through the Grapevine (a remarkable coincidence Ari-Up of the Slits will be coming to town tonight) and The X-Ray Spex Oh Bondage Up Yours! After which they handed out buttered scones.

Jezebel Royale reaches.



Mary Pop and Gina Jezebel do something swirly.



More reaching from Royale and Mary.



Gina does either the hustle or the running man (hey, if I knew, this site would be called National Capital Fitness).



And all together - just as they were getting started.



And a late addition picture of Gina telling people to hustle.



Well that's enough exercise for me. I'm off for a bite of something un-nutritious.

This is Pop!

What, you were expecting Andy Partridge? Mary Pop of The Jezebels sang Louie Louie (in French) with The Weapons of Mass Seduction at the SS Cardiacs/Weapons/We're Marching on triple bill at Mavericks.



"So what are you doing tonight?"
"We're going to get high!"
"Oh, is this a cocaine night?"
"No, we're going to eat mushrooms!"
"I like a good portobello myself ... in butter ..."

Jake Heartbreak of WOMS: Guitarist, singer and buttered mushroom fancier. I have many pictures of Mark, and many of them look remarkably like this one.



The Duke lays down some riffs while Bill Baumshell conceals himself behind a carefully placed cymbal.



More Bill, in his growly phrase.



The Duke works the feedback while JH does his Cousin It impression.



They're scheduled to play with other Music For Cats people in June, but I'm sure they'll play a gig before then ... The Jezebels are on the bill with The Hidden Cameras at Barrymore's April 16. Here's a picture of them from the June 11, 2004, WOMS/Sights show at the Dominion, singing backup for The Weapons.



I don't know if their Barrymore's gig is in a punk exercise or backup singing capacity - or something else entirely ...
  • The Sick Fits have emerged from hibernation! You can see them fall over, break things and play music at Zaphod's May 6 with Midnight Tramp.
