It's one of my great joys...to look back at a year and see what has been accomplished. For the Mydols, it was this:
The Mydols continued to wow crowds with their music and kitschy performances in 2007. In March, the band played at the infamous Paycheck's Lounge at the Hamtramck Blowout--Detroit's answer to SXSW. The band played at Gilda's Club's Noogiefest for the second year in a row, and also jumped on a plane to play in Oakland, California at the Art & Soul Festival.
Their recording of Roller Derby Queen became the anthem of the Detroit Derby Girls, and then the Aussie Derby Girls discovered it on the other side of the globe. Mydols' music also appeared on Innocence is Bliss--a compilation of some of the hippest girl bands in the world.
They were the third guests to appear on the Royal Oak Show--after the Mayor and Superintendent of Schools. Not too shabby. And they appeared on the cover of Twist Magazine.
The Mydols hosted MamapaZOOza at the Detroit Zoo, and filmmaker Kate Perotti completed her travels with the band for a documentary called Momz Hot Rocks.
Mydols' guitarist Judy Davids, completed a memoir called Rock Star Mommy to be published in April 2008 by Citadel Press.
And in 2007, a definition "Mom Rock" found its place in the Urban Dictionary.
