Steve, our favorite sound engineer, and Tony Kahn, our favorite producer from WGBH Morning Stories.

Finally another BiddyCast!!! I, Lee Ann, apologize for the late posting.

This BiddyCast is pieced together from bits a pieces of what we were up to during the day at SXSW last week. We frequented the Podcast.net booth, the Pollstar booth, the InRadio booth and many many others. The lady making announcements on the plane has a funny accent, and I think everyone was wearing aviator sunglasses under their carefully mussed hair. What a SCENE!

On a seperate note, last week we were able to hang out with Tony Kahn from WGBH Morning Stories for a couple of days! We had NO idea he was so wonderful! Keep listening to his podcast for some serious Biddy information.

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!

NYC's Lascivious Biddies are back after a successful national debut at SXSW, following their self-released 2002 debut, Biddi-Luxe. The all-lady jazz, pop, and cabaret quartet just released Get Lucky, featuring a four-part harmony version of the Smith's "Ask."

Freedom of Expression Is A Basic Human Right.  But, in a lot of countries, singing your song and speaking your mind can land you in prison... or worse. 

Ma Than Htay & Ma Tin Tin Oo are two Buddhist nuns and human rights defenders in their early 20s who were arrested for participating in a peaceful demonstration in 2003. Both women are currently serving sentences of 13 years' imprisonment. Over 45,000 other individuals jailed solely for their beliefs or their identity have been released by people like you writing letters, sending e-mails and signing petitions!

At The Lascivious Biddies SXSW Showcase, an Amnesty International representative will be available to answer your questions, and a petition will be available for you to sign!

Have a cocktail, see a great show and make a difference!
If you can't make it to Austin, the petition will also be available:

Yippeeeeeee! we uploaded a new BiddyCast! This time you will find The Biddies waiting in a basement for a benefit performance to begin. You can tell we are hungry at the beginning from the relieved sighs and joyous exclamations as our dinner arrives, spawning fantasies of J.Lo.-worthy dressing room requirements.

It had been a very long day, as that afternoon we had interviewed with Fuse TV for a show called "Amplified for Spring" - about what's hot this season. Apparently, it's BiddyCast!

Do you have any questions you would like answered on BiddyCast? Email The Biddies at BiddyCast@Biddies4Ever.com.

Nest week, look for what might be the FIRST EVER PODCAST FROM SXSW MUSIC FESTIVAL!!! We'll report on who we meet, what we learn and what we drank at the bar at The Four Seasons Hotel.

Thanks ever so much to those who sent get-well wishes! It's the saddest fact that they have the flu in Hawaii too.

Lastly, we have integrated BiddyBlog.com & BiddyCast.com so you can have one-stop shopping for all your Biddies News Items! Check it out and let us know what you think...

Thank You, Obrigada, Grazie, Merci...

It's only been a day since we posted "BiddyCast: Influenza," but we have already received a slew of get well notes from such varied locations as Holland, Hawaii, England & North Carolina!

Ain't podcasting grand?

Thanks so very much folks!

ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, we all have it bad! A New BiddyCast

Biddy Buddies, this week has been a hard one in Biddyland!  Three of the four have been knocked out by what is either the flu or an evil cold from Mars. Since Thursday, three normally busy little Biddies have been pitiful lumps of fever. In spite of the hardship, a new Biddycast is available! The Biddies each called into share a little of what happens to the brain when it is denied what pleases it most...
