You may have been wondering, "What are The Sprockettes doing these days?"


Well, we have been hiding in our secret batcave, doing gymnastics, sit-ups, and push ups, training for The Year of The Sprockette.

We are working hard on new dances and skills. Plans have been formulated for newer and freakier bikreations. Stay tuned for the Multnomah County Bike Fair with the unveiling of our shark and fish dance.
We have also been in the spotlight a bit lately.
Bust magazine came for an interview that will be coming out soon.
The oregonian did a story on us and we have so many performances in a row this spring and summer.
We might do the morning show and we still haven't heard back from David Letterman.
The company Yakima really likes our show and they just gave us two trailers for our bicycles so we can carry merch and the soundsystem. Thanks alot ya'll!! Get ready for some mobile dance parties in the warm weather!


So here's a list of upcoming performances. We will be adding more when they are confirmed.

Come meet your favorite Sprockettes and get your fresh 2007 Sprockettes calendar for only $5. The mood will be set to the delightfully amazing band Here Comes A Big Black Cloud as well as others.

These calendars make a great gift for the holidays, and are a perfect organizer for the breakroom. Send one to a friend from out of town who has no idea just how wierd Portland really is. Or your little niece who just learned to ride her first pink bike. It is a bargain and a half. And a chance to converse with the lovely hot pink and black ladies without the distraction of a performance.

We hope to see you there.

We are performing at the Siren Nation C.D. release on December 15th at the Holocene. I can't wait. It is going to be super radtastic! I'm a little flustered right now though, because it says the wrong location for the show on our calender, and I don't want anyone to be confused and go to the wrong place! Any rad mySpace experts out there want to give us a tip on how to edit our calander? It isn't as simple as you might think. yowza!

So many lovely bikes and well-toned legs (from riding them). So much chaos.
Our partners in Radness, the B.C.Clettes, came from downtown Canada, riding their bikes to dance a beautiful beautiful set; even collaborating with us on VTQ!

Agent Chaos dislocated her shoulder dismounting from the bike lift; please wish her love.

We crammed 16 people into the van after the party, no agent or bomber left behind; to fly away to Greenlake and take over J Ryde, Leslie and Sasha's beautiful house.
Dan set up his station and cooked up a wonderful breakfast before we rejoined MC3, Dead Babies, PDX bike polo and the remaining Zoobombers in Judkins park, riding bicycles through fountains.

I love you Seattle, see you next year!
