The Biddies Rock SXSW!

The Lascivious Biddies are thrilled to return triumphant to NYC after a successful trip to South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. We made appearances at all the parties, saw some incredible music, and closed out the week with a standing-room-only showcase! Here is some of what the papers had to say:

The Donnas + jazz = Lascivious Biddies: Concert Review
The Austin American Statesman, Sunday March 20, 2005
If the Donnas are rock's answer to girl power, then the Lascivious Biddies are jazz's answer to female singularity. From the cozy confines of the Elephant Room, these four New Yorkers glittered the night away with their lounge-friendly jive. Lee Ann Westover, her geekish glasses enhancing her offbeat good looks and native Austin charm, bounced a honky quirk into "Texas Girl," proving you really can't take the Lone Star State out of this girl. Saskia Sunshine Lane's upright bass hugged the group's empowering cover of "You Don't Own Me," and suave guitarist Amanda Monaco liberated the working mother, figuratively, in "Alice." Chipper piano player Deidre Rodman occasionally broke out into Broadway melodies, but abstained from gaudy showwomanship. I'm not someone who dances in pink pajamas to Aretha Franklin, and I rarely gush over "Sex and the City." But after tonight I have no problem saying, sincerely, you go girls!
