An Artist Tribe/One Step Production Producer/Director - Judy Chaikin Executive Producer - Michael Greene Co-Producer - Hugh Hefner SYNOPSIS They wiggled, they jiggled, they wore low cut gowns and short shorts, they kow-towed to the club owners and smiled at the customers…and they did it all, just to play the music they loved. THE GIRLS IN THE BAND tells the poignant, untold stories of female jazz and big band instrumentalists and their fascinating, groundbreaking journeys from the late 20's to the present day. These incredibly talented women endured sexism, racism and diminished opportunities for decades, yet continue today to persevere, inspire and elevate their talents in a field that seldom welcomed them. www.thegirlsintheband.com

ABOUT THE BAND

lead singer guitar guitar bass drums

When speaking about our music I like to quote J. Edgar Hoover who boldly said, “I
have to only look to one thing when placing blame for my habit of dressing in
women’s clothing and dancing the night away…it’s the music.” And really, who can
blame him? I’m not sure what year he said that but I think it was after he
proclaimed gruyere to be on the FBI’s most wanted list. HONEY would most
definitely be Hoover’s kind of band, somewhere between infectiously danceable and
downright hummable; I can see him now, front row, shouting the lyrics as I sing
them.

Here’s a little something you don’t know: I am a fabulous rink skater and I will
challenge you to a duel once I know who is reading this. Now, please let me tell you
a little about everyone else…

Lee Norton, who pretends to play bass in our group, has tons of experience playing in
hard core punk bands all over Orange County, California but they wouldn’t let him
play anywhere else. I met him a few years back and we grabbed Janeane Bernstein,
a fabulous radio host and voice over actress, to play guitar with us. I played drums
and it was fantastically horrible. Finally one day Lee dropped one of his grind-core smelly-bar bands and decided to start something new, bringing with him a
completely deadly guitarist, Pete Fielis. He can play the guitar while reciting the
Declaration of Independence in his head and I think that’s pretty cool. Then there’s
me, Ren. I sing the loudest out of everyone in the band and I stand in front so that I can see better. I come from a pretty musical background, having been an apprentice
composer for Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo and occasionally a songwriter for
television and film. Finally there’s Gary Brown, who actually has a long past of
hitting drums in reggae bands and big venues; he wandered into our studio and the
indie pop band HONEY began.
