RnR::Baltimore in the Baltimore City Paper!

Q&A with Tracey!

It's hard to see in the little photo, but those t-shirts sure look COOL, don't they?? heh. Come to the Romp Saturday and you can get one for yourself!

You think Charm City is ready to romp, hon?

It'd better be! Rock-n-Romp::Baltimore kicks off this Saturday May 21st! Check out the rockin' sounds of The Materials, kim++ and Sylvan Screen in a rompin' Lauraville backyard! The show starts at 3pm and you can get directions and more info if you email the lovely hostess Tracey at rocknromp@sweetney.com.

Tell your Baltimore friends! Tell your DC friends who aren't afraid of a little roadtrip for an awesome good time! I know I'm going to be there with all my boys in tow. Maybe I'll see you!

We love women in bands! If they're tattooed, wear leopard prints and outlandish sunglasses, all the better!

Go Allison -- this party grrl can rock and romp with the best of them! I think the little darkhaired tot is taking notes.

Lemonface kicks off Rock-n-Romp 2005!

Okay, this lame photo was taken by me -- I couldn't even get the whole band in the frame! Thanks for coming to my rescue, Angel!

Rock-n-Romp season opener ROCKED!

Wow wow wow, what an awesome day it was! The weather gods must like me because it didn't start to thunder and rain until we we were packing it in -- whew! It was such a supremely awesome show with the adorable LEMONFACE gang kicking things off and playing a kick-butt set. We adults were in awe of their talent and showmanship -- when I was 14 I wouldn't be caught dead onstage! But these 2 guys and girl have mad rock skills and deserve to show them off! If you didn't get out to the Romp, you really should check them out some day. They've got a CD release coming up soon, so check their website for more info.

And what can I say about those PaRtYLiNe grrls? They rock and they're fun -- PERFECT for RnR! Everyone dug their energy and punk rock moxie, not to mention singer Allison Wolfe's highkicks! I love giving the kids a chance to see women rock out, and hope to have them back to play again. As I understand it, the grrls decided to cut their set short due to the umm... "adult" nature of some of the lyrics, so I'm looking forward to checking out the uncensored version of their show. You should check them out, too -- check their site for upcoming shows around town and get a babysitter!

So, WOW. Again, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to rock and romp with ya'll. Thanks to everyone who came out and everyone who helped out! You're the best. Hope to see you next month!
