BASTARD LOVECHILD OF ROCK N’ ROLL BimBom Self-Released; 2010 There’s a touch of the ironic in much of Bastard Lovechild of Rock N’ Roll’s music, but you’d expect that from a band whose members go by the names Cookie Sugahips and Hotdamm Sweet Huckleberry.

The Satellite Beach-based duo, comprised of keyboardist/vocalist Chris Hess (Sugahips)... [Read more...]

Her... [Read more...]
