Marc and I rang in the New Year drinking cheap champagne at a tiny little bar in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, surrounded by trannies, grungy bikers and wholesome young folks wanting to have a good time. On the stage was “Big Girls Eat Cake” singing in the New Year with cover songs from Queen, Heart and Prince.
What better way to ring in the new year than by listening to the hot new up and coming band “Big Girls Eat Cake?” And boy, did we have a good time!
Before we started podcasting, the Feast of Fools was a live musical variety show that had it’s own band, which featured on keyboards, Taylor E Ross, or as he was known on stage as “Blitzkreig Martinez” or “Link Pinks” and on the drums, the incomparable Aaron Smith. Click here to see the guys in action at one of our live shows.
Podcasting took a grip on Marc and I and these talented folks moved on to work on a whole slew of other projects including writing music for plays and starting new bands like “Flesh Hungry Dog” and “Big Girls Eat Cake.”
Big Girls Eat Cake is great! They pull up some goodies developed from their past incarnations into a whole new delicious sound, grounded by the powerful and divinely bold (and single) Tracy Tyler as the lead singer.
Join us today as Tracy and Taylor (now know as Terry Diamond) join us to talk about their music, the legacy of sexual ambiguity in rock and roll music, “tanorexia” and are the Beatles on iTunes or not?

More riveting than a soap opera’s baby switcheroo plotline during sweeps week- the Feast of Fools.
