THE CHARMS Rock Whites Bar
September 17 and 19th
 The Charms are an irreverent and sassy rock 'n roll outfit out of Boston that are turning up the dial across the nation with their latest release entitled Pussycat.
They will be performing at White's Bar
on Saturday, September 17th
as part of the Stewart Francke Outdoor Show, and also returning
for an engagement on Monday, September 19th
with The Esperantos.
Having received rave reviews in
publications ranging from The Village Voice to the Boston
Globe, Bo White is very excited about being able to bring the
group to audiences in the mid-Michigan area.
"I listened to the CD and it adds about
15 years to my life, like the fountain of youth," exclaims Bo. "These
audacious punk renegades gave me an injection of some good old rock'n
roll, made all my aches and pains go away, and now suddenly I can put my
arm above my head and do the jitterbug!"
While possessing a sound distinctly their
own, The Charms radiate strengths of such exponents of modern
rock as Joan Jett, Janis Joplin doing too much Southern Comfort,
and The Pretenders at their finest.
"The Charms' Pussycat CD is like takin' a
hit of pure adrenaline," says Bo. "This is rock 'n roll the way it
should be played like if Ronnie Spector and Reg Presley
had a love child and the godmother was Kate Pierson. MY-MY-MY
Generation seems kinda tame by comparison - like an oldies show or
something equally as creepy."
"This is the 'real' deal," concludes Bo.
" It's Iggy singin' 1969 at the Delta Pops Festival and me
not believing my eyes or ears. Kim Fowley and the Runaways
could take a lesson from these upstarts. Who do they think they are,
anyway? Best band in Boston I'd say."
"We need them here to inject a little
life in the party...a little sparkle, rattle and hum, maybe? This is a
neck twistin' instant paralysis of every stodgy impulse to sing karaoke
or join a political party."
With such a rave review from Bo, you know
The Charms must have something intoxicating to serve up to the
tri-cities. Be sure to mark the dates on your calendar!
