Buy the Album HERE Viva la Baker and radical Divas everywhere. The Cha Cha Cabaret is a show, darling. It toured the west coast for a few seasons and then documented itself on this disc. It features acts and objects extravagant but familiar, made with those things closest at hand?Drawing heavily on the imagery of Josephine Baker and the attitudes of Nina Simone, starring lady glitterati and tap dancing dandies?these restless marauders are the original troubadours, charting the terrain in their flights of fancy. Included on this bountiful collection are the work of Simplement Jacques (aka Dale Shaw of Blood Sausage and the Lies), the Skirts, Old Time Relijun, the Lookers (featuring Sarah Dougher), Panties, Nikki McClure, Cocozelle (aka Mirah), Miranda July, Flying Tigers (featuring Star Athena), and our hostess, Miss Lady Hand Grenade (Jen Smith).
