Life According to Four Bitchin' Babes is a glorious musical ride through the heart.

What Does the Sun Sound Like?

A Journey Between Sound & Silence by
Arlene Malinowski

"... soars easily and gracefully ... with great good humor and compassion." - Backstage West

A hilarious and tender account of surviving adolescence and being required to grow up quickly, What Does the Sun Sound Like is Arlene Malinowski's loving memoir about being the eldest hearing child of deaf parents.

As a young girl, she became her parent's ears and voice and, through visits to "Deaf Club" and frustrating interactions with the hearing world, from growing breasts to awkwardly introducing her fiance to her parents, Malinowksi's poignant and comical story has something to say to everyone, deaf and hearing alike.

Christine Lavin Steps In

Christine Lavin, founding member of The Four Bitchin' Babes, was the final installment of Women CenterStage 2000.

Christine's wireless concerts, which now include the ingenious use of live digital phrase sampling technology, have tapped into a unique vein of creativity transforming her performances into one-of-a-kind stage events.

Besides her 12 solo albums, Christine has also recorded three albums with the Bitchin' Babes and produced six compilation CDs, including her latest, The Stealth Project, which showcases the work of contemporary singer/songwriters whose work she loves.
