About the Artist
The Story of The Booty Olympics is a wild one. It starts in the gin mills and juke joints of rough & tumble America where beer is cheap and life is cheaper. Mitzi Dodge and her pal, Palmyra were playin' in the notorious all-girl garage sensation, The Friggs. One night after a gig, the band stopped at a convenience store down near Delaware to buy smokes when they ran into a bike gang. Words were spoke, and ten minutes, six bullets and no pack of smokes later the girls were on the lamb. Mitzi Dodge had been playin' bass with The Friggs, but was itchin to get back the guitar-- her gun of choice, the one she played with STP while on tour with Sonic Youth and Nirvana. Palmyra was all for it and offered to switch to drums, since she had done some time on the skins in the legendary Philly band, Pink Slip Daddy. Dodge said sure and the two struck out on the road for fame and fortune. It was around this time in Arkansas that The Lovely and Talented Betsy Todd had just been released from the State Prison on a dime stretch stemmin' from a bunko beef. She had itchy fingers and was headed for Vegas. It was there that the three got together at the Horseshoe, and Betsy asked Mitzi if she could use a bass player. Mitzi liked the L&TBT, and hired her on the spot. The Booty Olympics were born. They headed for NYC and cut a path of hot post punk indie rock getting there. Peter Davis from Paper Magazine calls them his "favorite new girl group," and the WFMU DJs say the Booty Olympics are "rockin'!" Other groups like Outcast, Sting, Carly Simon and Beck think the girls are tough, with a tender side that makes you want to cry, but you don't cry cause you're too busy rocking to the sound of tomorrow! The Booty Olympics - don't be the nerd who catches on too late. Check out The Booty Olympics' new smash hit CD, Boystyle. Do it now or you'll regret it later.
