Phoenix New Times

Whichever ghastly gent did sultry songstress Bernadette Seacrest wrong has surely got a beatin’ a-comin’ to him, either by us or by someone else out to avenge the honor of the bluesy and ballsy siren. Whenever this tattooed temptress sings tempestuous torch songs about lovers who “couldn’t keep the faith,” or croons classic covers like Mama Cass’ “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” this quirky Albuquerque chanteuse makes us want to do wild things, possibly when she visits the Rhythm Room, 1019 East Indian School Road, along with her backup band, the Yes Men, on Tuesday, May 17. Kenny Love and His Cyno-Glides open the show at 9 p.m. Admission is $4. Call 602-265-4842 or see www.rhythmroom.com.
