Johnny Depp - Virginia Dare

decadeaugogo.pngThe Devil-Ettes don't play music. The Devil-Ettes shake their ta-tas. They've been doing it for 10 years now (well, there have been more than a few lineup changes, but troupe founder Baby Doe has been around for all that time). To celebrate their anniversary, the dancing demons will host "Decade au Go Go" at the Make-Out Room on Sunday, featuring some of their favorite indie acts, all of whom performed with the Devil-Ettes their first year.
As befits the levity of the ladies' routines, there'll be comedy by Beth Lisick and Tara Jepsen, live karaoke with the Amazing Embarrassonic Human Karaoke Machine, and a hands-on performance by the Clap Band (which doesn't involve the administering of venereal diseases, don't worry). But, perhaps most excitingly, there will be a long overdue set by Virginia Dare.

virginiadare.pngBack in the '90s, the S.F. trio -- which was named after the first child to be born in the U.S. to colonizers -- released several albums of woozy, lovely, melancholy country-rock. Guitarist Brad Johnson played his instrument with a screwdriver for a whammy bar, getting an otherworldly sound from it, while Mary O'Neil strummed an autoharp and sang in a warbly-but-strident voice that recalled a Southern belle version of Liz Phair. Uber-producer Greg Freeman rounded out the threesome on bass -- yes, no drums. Baby Got Away (1998, Absolutely Kosher Records) remains one of the finest country-influenced albums the Bay produced, and it should be a gas to hear the songs performed live again. (Also, if you're wondering how the somber band fits into the Devil-Ettes bill, Virginia Dare actually gave the dancers their first gig.)

Virginia Dare performs at "Decade au Go Go" on Sunday, September 14 at the Make-Out Room. Tickets $8; doors 8 p.m.
