Details:
Homer Erotic is a band that's so original, thye almost need their own section at the music store.

All female, all poetic, all the basic musical food groups, yet so tight and fluid you'd think the world of music was made just for them.

You think you're hearing jazz, then all of a sudden rock guitar licks jangle through, then the R&B beat goes African, then a violin slices through so bluesy, so beyond, so primal, so sweet and seamless, the corner of your brain that hasn't been hijacked says, how did they do that? And the words, well, they take you on a trip across seven layers of conciousness, like a dream you wish hadn't ended, a dream that left you with an inkling of what really happened.

Words that spin trances, tht invade the psyche with stories beautiful, terrible, gritty, fantastic.

Homer Erotic sprang to life during a break at a poetry reading in 1991 in New York, the band's home base, when poets Barbara Barg and Maggie Dubris talked it into being.

They quickly recruited Suzanne Gallant, Sara Wendt, and Andrea Pierotti, and Homer Erotic took flight.

In 1996 the band expanded to include Angela Babin and Heather Ferguson.

Together, these seven women create an odyssey of music, wit and jubilation, creating songs your mind's ear will play again and again.
