Tuesday Who Day: Meet Bertha's Attic
Yahoo,
let's meet the band! To recap: the
protagonist of HEAVENLY MOVES is Heavenly "Hev" Wilcox. Her best
friend, Mona, is an aspiring rock star. Mona's band is called Bertha's Attic.
The band's name is a Jane Eyre
reference from Mona, the English major dropout - remember Mr. Rochester's crazy
wife Bertha who lived in the attic? [or at least upstairs] Mona is the
unquestioned (not to mention tyrannical) leader of her band - she writes the
songs, sings lead and plays bass. The other members of Bertha's Attic are:
And that's Bertha's Attic - coming soon to a Dollar Night near you! Don't forget your ID.

Petey
Houlihan, guitar
"...red-haired, freckle-faced and looked like he was about sixteen. At
age nineteen, he considered this a serious defect. He had recently dyed his
hair jet black after cutting it very short except for one lock falling over his
right eye. Which looked ridiculous, but Petey was such a nice boy that nobody
wanted to hurt his feelings. He had told us all to call him Peter, not Petey,
but who could look at that face and not say Petey?"
Handsome
Pete, drums
"...tall and handsome, with hazel eyes, cropped brown hair and a
fledgling moustache.... Gorgeous older women (like twenty-four) would show up
at gigs from time to time and carry cymbals until they broke a fingernail."
LeClaire,
keyboards
"She described her heritage as half
Jamaican, half French and half Irish. That was about as much sense as I ever
got out of the girl... Her appearance was striking...the audience could see her
behind her keyboards with her mirrored sunglasses and beaded braids a-swinging."
