On Inauguration Day musicians played at two different benefit shows in Kansas City. At Mills Record Company, a benefit show (Rock the Twat) was played for Rose Brooks Center. Rock the Twat was a feminine product drive to help those at the Center. The center provides refuge for domestic violence victims. They raised money and collected pads and tampons at the show. The local bands Katy Guillen and the Girls, Members from Bohemian Cult Revival, and Sister Mary Rotten Crotch played.
Katy Guillen and the Girls started out the night with some killer blues. Below are a few photos there set. You can see the whole album from the show HERE.
