Have you met Baker Act?

I met Baker Act purely by accident, nay serendipity, last fall while going up to Jax with DJ Vern to see The Boss Martians. Click to see my blog about the night.

A quote from my first Baker Act blog:

So on to the music. Alternative punk with an attitude, fronted by Danielle. Start with Ann Wilson (classic Ann Wilson, not the watered down 80's version), roll her around in the dirt a little bit, give her some some torn fishnets and some school girl skirts, and you have Danielle. I am usually a little turned off by female fronted rock but she definitely elicited quite the opposite response from me.

Inked and spiky haired Elizabeth on bass and her brother Rudy on guitar have a terrific banter and energetic stage presence that kept me entertained between songs and while they were playing.

Rounded out by Marz, who beats her drums like an unloved step-child, Baker Act is well worth checking out if you get the chance.

JAX peeps, you really should try to catch them sometime. TikiTender is a fan!!
