Ginger Snapped
www.gingersnapped.com


It has played only a handful of gigs, but Ginger Snapped may nevertheless be the biggest thing to hit Florida since Hurricane Frances. Lead singer Mishel Beebe intermittently sounds like Deborah Harry, Courtney Love or … aw, the heck with comparisons. Beebe sounds like Mishel Beebe. And that’s probably why the band leaves such a good impression. Of course, it’s not just the standout frontwoman. Javier Caballero, who also plays guitar for Neptune B, lent his skills to the band and, coupled with the competent rhythm section of Jon Boho and Vanessa Dubin and the keyboard crescendos of Layne Long, the music means as much as the vocals. As long as Ginger Snapped picks up the pace of its gigs, expect much from the fledgling band.
