This, the latest — and hopefully permanent — Sugar Town revival has got some promise. The first re-installment of Sara Sherr's monthly female-first showcase (which started in 2001) is no mere "Night of Lady Rockers and DJs" as the flier boasts. There's also a reading by Amy Z. Quinn, aka blogger/parenting pundit Citizen Mom, and a "drag/performance-art project" by Dumpsta Players Chatty Cathy and Carolyn "The Motherfucking Clash" Chernoff. But, yeah, there's gonna be some rock and roll, too. In the moody, groovy Voodoo Economics, everybody takes a turn on the synths. Alison Conard has a smoky croon somewhere between psycho and sultry, especially when she's wrapping her lips around "Bail," a chaotic little number that cribs its lyrics from Reservoir Dogs: "First things fuckin' last/ You better wake up and apologize/ You're not blind, you've just got blood in your eyes." Isn't that sweet?
