Pics are not safe for work. Password to view folder is "erocktica"

I don't post a lot of nude pictures on this site. Only when they speak to more than masturbation. You probably don't need, or want, me to help with that.

But I do promote the work of original artists, those who celebrate freedom, people with guts. They show us that there's life beyond your couch and a viewing of The Apprentice. The kind of people who, at 2 a.m. on a regular Wednesday night/Thursday morning in Manhattan, will get a rock club jumping with a mix of guitars, drums, whipped cream and g-strings.

Erocktica (Pink Snow, Jailbait, Profanity and the boys) is my kind of people, and I posted a bunch of shots from their performance at Don Hill's — password to view folder is "erocktica" — on BITCH night, a showcase of less uninhibited though no less talented female rockers that included such acts as Bikini Contest, Stark (featuring WLPJ's talented Lani Ford) and Honor Among Thieves.

I'd seen Erocktica only once before, back when they were called Porn Rock, and the music this time seemed much improved. But it's not all about the music. It's not even all about the girls or the stuffed penises or the cheerleader outfits. It's the whole package. It's loud but more proud. It's goofy and poignant. It's freedom of expression, maybe not as our forefathers envisioned, but Thomas Jefferson wasn't much into rock 'n' roll anyway.

From the opening chorus of P-O-R-N in America to the big climax, Naked, in which the entire audience is invited to come on stage as such, Erocktica is the band your parents warned you about, and probably wish they could stay up late enough to see them.
