'Hot Stuff'

San Francisco all-girl electro soul-punk group Von Iva first visited NYC a couple of years back, playing storming shows at Death Disco and Cake Shop during CMJ. I shot them both but never never did get around to posting them up. So many bands so little time.. This year - now stripped down to a power trio - they were due to yet again tear it up at CMJ. At the last minute - to the disappointment of many - they cancelled at the last minute, making some vague excuse to do with 'movies' and 'Los Angeles'. The good news is, I did catch them earlier in the year when, on a quick summer tour to promo their new album 'Our Own Island', they passed through the city. The venue again was the Cake Shop, on the totally appropiate night of the monthly QBR Lives! party - QBR standing for Queers, Beers, and Rears. Thus the place was filled with gender-benders absolutely ready to rave. Von Iva did not disappoint, banging out one disco-punk killer after another, all fronted by the bluesy voice of the magnificent Jillian. As they played the cover of Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff' a skinny rocker got on stage to grope our Jill and things began to get a little out of hand.. She turned the tables on him doncha worry, and he was soon beating a retreat before she removed his underwear.. (first clip). The show climaxed with an extended version of 'No Man' a stomping anthem of female empowerment from the new record(second clip). With Beth & co. off to bigger things there are few better party bands in the nation right now.
