A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (the Great White North of Rochester, New York) these self-proclaimed divas formed a girl group --- and their sound could gag you with a spoon. Join 80’S LADIES, awesome DARIENNE LAKE and bitchin MRS. KASHA DAVIS for a sing-along, dance-along, totally tubular time – all set to a soundtrack of wicked pop and rad classic rock from the gnarly decade that gave us Designing Women, Rainbow Brite and Rubik’s Cube. So don’t be a hoser -- crimp your hair, throw on your best shoulder pads, grab that day-glo snap bracelet and get ready to take it to the max and party hardy.
