Smooch, August 9th
Gobs of people turned out at the Bovine Sex Club Saturday Night for the debut of SMOOCH, a local all-girl KISS cover band led by Kim Bingham. Some may remember Bingham from ska band "Me Mom and Morgentaler". She later became indie singer/songwriter "Mudgirl", then switched back to her own name before turning up as Paula Stanley in the girl-powered KISS tribute act.

It's the type of shtick that would have worked even if SMOOCH stunk, but it was nice that they didn't. The makeup was spot on, as were the fashion choices, and they rocked through the hits (and some lesser-known faves) with flair and grace, sounding remarkably tight for their first gig. I especially liked drummer Petra Kriss's rendition of Beth. If the cheese rock thing must be done, SMOOCH have the best way of doing it.
