SCRAPPLE
Scrapple perform something called Popera -- a cabaret of musical vignettes rolled out with props, costumes and such stuff -- backed by a wall of garage-disco-punk. Scrapple deliver a full-on cabarockshow, fraught with messages of love (Trash Ass), power (Shesus), safe sex (Slip It On), and gentital telepathy (Light-Up Alien P).

Formed in 1998, Scrapple is: Geisslah (vocalz & popera-izations), Christina Everett (vocalz & popera-izations), Lisa McColgan (beats & more vocal heat), t-Scan (electronics & strings), and Roland Smith (mutron-wah-drenched bass.)

When weary of the live stage, the Poperation has taken to the college airwaves with the Home Companion show, and straight to compact disk (see our two downloadable 5-song MP3-CDs). A couple of Scrap songs have appeared on compilations: "Light Up Alien Pussy" appears on Mr. Records' 1.5 -- a comp of Boston experimental and adventurous pop (listen to the MP3 version now), and "Shesus," on the Ladyfest*East compilation by 28Days Records.

Hear.
