Alison Faith Levy's latest project: Alison writes: "Joe Becker and I are now playing in a band called the Sippy Cups. We play psychedelic rock for kids and their parents, with a juggler and a puppeteer adding to the rock n' roll circus vibe. We play songs by the Beatles, Pink Floyd, T. Rex, Velvet Underground, Stones, Kinks, Bowie etc. We've been getting a lot of press lately, including a cover story in the Pink Section, and we just played live on the KFOG morning show, debuting our first original song, one I wrote called 'Magic Toast.' Anyway, for any LF fans who have kids, or even not, it's a rockin' good time at our shows. They can check out our very colorful website -- www.thesippycups.com."
