A half imagined memoir of a post-century life lived in speakeasies and discotheques. A saucy musical tale wherein the decedent 1930's meets the excesses of the 1970 glam rock and punk. Recorded live at the Dark Room in San Francisco, "BROADWAY HOSTESS" is an evening spent with the punk rock persona that SF Weekly calls 'delightfully volatile'. Miss Lake has written two books. "The Unsinkable Bambi Lake" is the dish on the Cockettes, Angels and punks and a highly personal account of her evolution from innocent, suburban Johnny Purcell into fabulous, sophisticated Bambi Lake to touring Europe with legendary British) punk band, The Strangler's, Her second book, "Smash and Grab", is a collection of her poems and prose chronicling her life throughout the tumultuous 1980's and 90's. Bambi Lake has been part of the San Francisco glamour queen scene since the "Cockette's" and "Angel's of Light" caused theatrical havoc in the '70s. A chanteuse, stripper, actress, and spoken word artist, Ms. Lake currently resides in Northern California.
