Yeah people come on out and celebrate Queertober events this Thursday at Duke
Coffeehouse.

Armed with an electric violin, bass and ukulele, Bitch, (formerly of Bitch
and Animal) has launched her new band, Bitch and The Exciting Conclusion, in
collaboration with Daniela Sea (The L Word) and is touring nationally with
such idols as The Indigo Girls, Ferron, and Melissa Ferrick, to promote her
most recent record "Make This/Break This," a new release from Kill Rock
Stars. Film audiences can also catch her in John Cameron Mitchell's (Hedwig
and the Angry Inch) latest feature, "Shortbus." Since the beginning of her
career, being taken under the wing of Ani Difranco, Bitch has pulled
audiences to their feet world-wide with her music that she considers
"electric folk" and is symphonic, beatworthy, break-your-heart ballad-y, and
raise the roof revolutionary.

Keeping the party going all night long comes the dark, drum machine-rocking
anthems of Ex-Members. Thumping beat-maker Melissa York creates the frame for
David K's angular post-punk guitar sounds that stretch across to give Shirlé
Hale's smoky vocals and pounding bass a surface to create a ferocious
electro-rock party vibe. "It's a dance-rock party that would fit in nicely
between LeTigre and the Gossip, only Hale's low, smoky vocals are more like
Chrissie Hynde..." says Pitchfork.

Ringing in the night will be the ever charming and witty Midtown Dickens.
The multi-tasking, antifolk, adoracore duo that's been creating excessive
nonsensical categories to fit ourselves into since 1982.

Come on out and getdown!
