Jeerleader shout out in Tom Tom Magazine

Check it out, we really DO throw awesome fundraiser parties! See, for proof, this recent interview in Tom Tom Magazine with Emily Rems, the drummer for Royal Pink, who played at our Girls Rock! fundraiser this past summer. And then stay tuned here for info on our next party so you don't miss out on the fun.

Here's the snippit:
TTM: Most notable show you ever played? 
ER: We’ve played a few that were real whoppers. The one that really sticks out in my head was really recently we played a benefit for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby Jeerleaders.  The roller derby has cheerleaders who cheer for each team called Jeerleaders. We played this gig with lots of punk-ass roller derby people there. The place was packed. And there were actual cheerleaders with pom poms dancing along with their pompoms to every song and they were like ripping their clothes off and throwing bras at us and screaming. And it was like “Yeah! We’re rock stars!” in this real girl power kind of way. You’ve never played drums until you’ve seen cheerleaders pom-poming it to your beat.

Thanks Emily!
