Music, Music, Music... and Musicians

One more, out of a story that I'm prereading: "the all-catgirl pop-band, Sugar Rush"

Let's recap (with a few additions), shall we?

==Musicians in Fenspace==

===Local acts===

• Bombastic Hush: Debuted June 2013. A French-influenced electropop trio. Renée Taliaferro fronts and plays guitar; two more band members TBD.
  
• DISASTER AREA: The heaviest of heavy-metal, and a Douglas Adams tribute band. Yes, both at the same time.
  
• The http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... _Cavaliers]Hong Kong Cavaliers: Debuted in 2011, IIRC, but didn't take their current name until December 2013. Primarily "classic rock," with forays into practically every other style.
  
• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... S238_Brass]Junior Fabulous and the PS238 Brass: Not sure when they debuted, but before the end of the Boskone War. Jazz and big-band, when they're not the "horns section" for the Hong Kong Cavaliers.
  
• The Red Lad Revue: Debuted February 2018. Primarily "show tunes," but perform the occasional full-blown musical in the "Imperial Flower Troupe" style. Fronted by Kohran Li, with Makoto Miyadera and five more core members TBD.
  
• Sunshine Galaxy: Debuted half a year before Serenity-Con. Pop with occasional forays into harder rock, metal or power ballads (and the occasional mambo or dance track voice over rap). Fronted by singer Hoshikage Kouyou, backed by session musicians.
  
• Rhysling's Space Troubadours
  
• Madness dotFen (with the Professor as a special guest on the cover-tracks "One Step Beyond" and "She Blinded Me With Science" on their debut album One Step Beyond The Sky)
  
• Black Velvet & Gem's Tones: A three piece group whose names are mumble Black, Velvet mumble, and Gemma mumble, but play up the starry sky aspect of the combined name.
  
• Sugar Rush: All pop, all catgirl, all the time.
  
• the DoCo cover band in Village of Hidden Asteroid
  
• the Fire Bomber and/or Sheryl Nome cover band on Greenwood
  
• the Hokago Teatime cover band in Crystal Kyoto
