For the Empty Bottle show on November 17th, Lovely Little Girls will be presenting a unique performance featuring a full brass ensemble. Horn players include Mike Hagedorn (Ridiculous Trio) on trombone, Rob Pleshar (Black Bear Combo) on tuba, Thymme Jones and Jeff Liebershire (Cheer-Accident) on trumpets and long-time Lovely Little Girls collaborator Doug Abram (Black Bear Combo) on sax. Also included in the performance will be drummer/percussionist Mike Kendrick (Rope) , bassist Kevin Cribbin and mezzo-soprano Right Eye Rita.

Lovely Little Girls will be joined on November 17 th by The Pussy Pirates and The Bitter Tears. The night is a showcase of "grotesque music"- a loose description for bands that mangle familiar styles into strange forms.

The Pussy Pirates , a Chicago/Ann Arbor group, take a punk template and twist it with unconventional arrangements and a dissonant horn section. They create an ecstatic dance music celebrating the body in all its icky and sexy charms of blood, guts and copulation.

The Bitter Tears are purveyors of country swagger and formal waltzes with the ghost of Herb Alpert haunting the brass section. Pretty melodies are betrayed by absurd stories of the futility of life. Their creepy theatrical stage presence adds another level of dementia to the proceedings.
