"Thwack together vaudevillian comic chops, astounding musicality, and oodles of quirky sex appeal and you've got the Steamy Bohemians, Boston's very own darlings of debauchery. Part glam rock, part stand-up comedy, and all sass, steamy duo Lainey Schulbaum and Niki Luparelli seductively tickle audiences with songs like "My Love For You (The Mayonnaise Song)," "Second Cousin," and "The Ballad of the Bastard," which the ladies claim are inspired by "chaos, cultural discontent, and gender polarity. And weed." Though their banter rivals Lucy and Ethel and their lyrics are borderline absurd, these broads offer more than just a kitschy hook. Both are classically trained sopranos, and Schulbaum's guitar playing will rock your pretty little face off. Check out their debut album Technicolor Radio or, better yet, their live show Jerkus Circus, happening monthly at the Lizard Lounge (1667 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.547.0759)."
