Afro Punk @ Galapagos in Williamsburg totally rocked my socks...I had such a great time!
I got to hob-knob hood celebrities, and see a lot of great bands!
One of which was
Chewing Pics a band which Naima Mora, Cycle 4 Winner of Americans Next Top Model is lead singer...
And
Sweetie (Amazing Band I am their new biggest fan!) Which Naima's Sister Ife is a part of.
Brown Girls Burlesques Performed an Act with Mackie Riverside... HOT!!!
They have teamed up with Primordial Punk to do the first Women of color Punk Pin-Up calendar which I pre-ordered at the show but you can order from their website for $15 [
