Former Maid*Rite member Kristy Guttmann has just completed her Masters thesis: a 16-minute documentary film entitled "You Can Call Me Sweetheart" about the girls she knows and loves--Maid*Rite!

We are so excited! Please come to the World Premiere of "You Can Call Me Sweetheart", Jan 20 at Off Broadway in St Louis.

Maid*Rite, "the sweethearts of St Louis", will play a few sets that night, followed by St Louis band That's My Daughter. The film will show in between the musical acts. Also several former members will be on hand to sit in for a song or two with Maid*Rite. Please come celebrate women and music with us!

The TwangBang is celebrating a successful first year of showcasing the finest in local alt.country/blues/bluegrass/americana/rockabilly/etc. (along with some great like-minded national acts) with a night of Brotherly Love, Live at the Venice Cafe (1901 Pestalozzi, 314-772-5994), December 9 with Maid*Rite (the loveliest ladies of the alt.country scene), the Bottoms Up Blues Gang (the hardest working blues band in the Lou) and Strawfoot (dirge country pioneers and local favorites). As the show title suggests, the Andrews brothers, who each play in one of the featured bands (BUBG and Strawfoot) will be wailing on their harps all night long. We hope that the night does not devolve into a little brotherly smackdown as the poster suggests. In related news, Strawfoot is putting the final touches on their long awaited and much anticipated debut LP, Chasing Locusts, due out this winter.

If we're not careful, Jesse Irwin's charisma may carry him far (away) • by Thomas Crone

...Scene two: Six days later, Irwin's fronting his regular group, the Dock Ellis Band. Playing after the all-female Maid Rite – each of whom has dressed, to varying degrees of success, as a drag king – the Ellis boys are sporting dresses and skirts, every one of them a vision, indeed. Performing the group's patented mix of "pre-1985 country standards," the sextet quickly grabs the large Tap Room audience by the lapels, demanding its time and focus. A crowd that's already got a certain collective booziness melts in the hands of the Dock Ellis Band, which performs songs neatly suited to the occasion, its young, bearded singer stomping along in a sundress and do-rag...
