Hello my friends,
Wednesday I'm playing a show (with my AMAZING one nite stands! the band PLUS dancers!) at cakeshop for "Mixer", which is an event mixing a few authors and one musical guest.
The whole thing starts at 7pm, and we go on about 8:15.
My one nite stands are so talented - they are really helping my theatrical raps reach their potential! Come check this shit out....
I will be touring solo in europe the month of april (more info on dates soon!) - so you won't get me with the FULL ON one nite stands for a couple of months. oh yeah, and this is a free show!

Nan & the One Nite Stands http://www.myspace.com/nanturner
Nan plays drums and sings in Schwervon, and raps, sings, plays Casio, and leads a troop of backup dancers in kimonos in Nan & the One Nite Stands. Vocally, she's the missing link between Kathleen Hanna and Juliana Hatfield, with a wail matched only by her whisper. The Lucy Ricardo of indie rock, Nan enjoys writing raps and indie pop and experiments live with a rotating cast of musicians she has coined the One Nite Stands. Her newest release "Construction of a Champ" is out now on Olive Juice.
