Malibu Mitch - Valhalla, SXSW, Austin TX - March 15, 2013


[Bronx] Three shorties (if ‘shorties’ means short women who rap, like I imagine it does) with hot pants, long hair, and tons of attitude. Two were from the Bronx and the more mild-mannered one from Houston seemed like she was filling in as a backup. They worked the mostly male crowd and had them whispering about the merits of the group before the music even started. It was stoned bootie rap – long deep bass - Tigra & Bunny voices. They would rap dirty mean lyrics, the song would end, and then they’d collapse into girly giggles. It was a put on - they were tough. Some of their stuff had a Latina tinge – they may have been Puerto Rican. In some songs, they’d repeated the same word hypnotically, reminded me of Southern rap. They were fantastic.
