I’m listening to her now via her website. I hadn’t heard of her before. She kicks much ass. Thanks for the new music. 😃 ---

[This pic](http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~jeffrey/dpics/20041111-jem/05-jem.jpg) is from a different show, but I think she’s wearing a similar outfit as when I saw her. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-did-nobody-tell-me-the-band-jem-rocks-so-much/304524.md?page=1)
