Summary: <p>Pom Pom Squad is more than a punk band. Led by singer and songwriter Mia Berrin, their music is a romp through many musical styles: a seemingly disparate collection of punk and grunge, Motown, crooner jazz, and wall-of-sound 60’s pop all built on feelings - heartbreak and injustice and intimacy, and navigating the way through treacherous waters. Their 2021 album <em><a href="https://pompomsquad.bandcamp.com/album/death-of-a-cheerleader" target="_blank">Death of a Cheerleader</a> </em>takes a knowing, ironic look at pop culture through a queer lens, focusing on the romance and glamour of 20th century film stars, and the iconic figure of the cheerleader from teen movies past, especially the 1999 film, <em>But I'm a Cheerleader.</em> The full lineup of Pom Pom Squad (Mari Alé Figeman, Bass: Shelby Keller, Drums and Percussion, Alex Mercuri, Lead Guitar, and Mia Berrin) plays remotely.</p> <p>Berrin is working on "re-training the muscle" of playing live shows for when the band is scheduled to go <a href="https://www.pompomsquadband.com/tour">on tour</a> later in the fall.</p> <p>Set list: "Lux," "Drunk Voicemail"</p> <p>Watch "Lux": </p> <p>Watch "Drunk Voicemail": </p>
