The Cocktail Slippers (Norway) & Stupidity (Sweden) bring their tour to Bayside Bowl w/s/gs Tiger Bomb + Muck & The Mires (all-ages)
STUPIDITY was formed in Stockholm, Sweden by former members of Eager Beaver and The Cool Jerks. They took the name “Stupidity” from the great Solomon Burke song. Stupidity’s lead singer, Erniz Lundqvist, has probably one of the most unique voices in rock, garage or otherwise. At times, he recalls Tony Andreason of the Trashmen (“Surfin Bird”) but he has also been compared to Lux Interior of the Cramps and Iggy Pop. The other members of Stupidity are Janne Vierth on guitar, Ulrika Wennström on bass, and Tommy Boy Sjöström on drums. Together, they make music that doesn't sound like any rock band on earth. Their song "Girl Named Moe" was named the "coolest song in the world" on Sirius radio channel The Underground Garage. After "Move" was released (2011), it too was picked "coolest song in the world". When Stupidity toured the East Coast for the 6th time in a row, their next two singles, “King Midas” & "Get Up", were again picked the "coolest song in the world". Their latest single “A Monkey In A Suit (Is Still A Monkey)” has a video due out this June, and with a new LP due out this fall, expect to see more STUPIDITY songs on "cool record" charts everywhere!
COCKTAIL SLIPPERS are a five-piece, all-female rock band from Oslo, Norway. They are known for their entertaining live rock ′n roll performances and have played alongside artists such as Nancy Sinatra, Crowded House, Elvis Costello and The Strokes. The band is continuously touring Europe and the USA.After signing with Wicked Cool Records, the Cocktail Slippers recorded their third studio album "Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre". The album was co-produced by the band and Jean Beauviour (known for producing Kiss, Blondie, and The Ramones) and features two cover songs: Lesley Gore’s “She’s a Fool” and Connie Francis’s “Don’t Ever Leave Me”. Rolling Stone magazine writer David Fricke describes the band as “Norwegian Devil Dolls" that "sing their you-done-me-wrong songs with avenging-angel-army-harmonies". Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad called the women "Norwegian Rock heroines" that "pick up where Blondie left off". Current band members are: Hope (vocals), Rocket Queen (guitar), Vega (guitar), Miss A-OK (drums) and Sugar (bass ). Cocktail Slippers formed in 2001 and has since released three studio albums and two Christmas singles. The band’s main musical influences are Blondie, The Shangri-Las, Joan Jett, Foo Fighters, The Ramones, The Go-Go’s and The Beach Boys. This tour is in support of their 4th LP, due out this fall.
Providing support for the COCKTAIL SLIPPERS and STUPIDITY are Portland's own all-female rockers TIGER BOMB who have been making big waves with their live shows all across New England. Tiger Bomb's well-anticipated 3rd LP is also due out this fall, and will be a game changer for the band who continues to impress with their growing fan base. Kicking off this incredible night is Boston's MUCK & THE MIRES, crowned the #1 Garage Rock Band by "Little Steven" Van Zandt on MTV. They have albums produced by Kim Fowley (Runaways) & Jim Diamond (White Stripes). The band has performed extensively on several continents, sharing bills with many of their heros including The Sonics, NY Dolls, Ray Davies (The Kinks), Flamin' Groovies, The Stooges, and also (thanks to their wide appeal) with contemporary artists ranging from Pete Best (The Beatles), to Dave Mathews!
