"The 'thief' was obviously LG, sifting through shit in the van," she continues. "They joked about it being a Thelma and Louise sisterhood moment and Baby Angel said that if Trampskirts ever fizzled they should start a band called Thelma and the Sleaze.

The story doesn't end there, though.

"A week later, the singer dropped off and LG stepped up and finished the tour singing all of her parts. They got back to Nashville and started Thelma and the Sleaze," Chase says. "That final Thelma and Louise scene, when they hold hands while they drive their car off a cliff - that's the most accurate way to describe our rapport as a band."

Chase says the band recently caught the attention of a very unexpected fan.

"A couple weeks ago we were asked to perform as a backing band on the ABC drama Nashville. It's produced and directed by Callie Khouri, who wrote Thelma and Louise. We fucking met her!" she exclaims. "She walked right up to us and said, 'So, we finally meet.' I'm sweating thinking about it! I think that episode airs on April 8; we'll post about it on our Facebook for sure.

"We're opening for Christina Aguilera," Chase laughs. "I hope Callie doesn't get mad that we've been divulging that."

Chase says they're happy to share their video antics, but to not mistakenly blur the lines between video and reality, creepers. Do that and you risk ending up like the fellow on the cover of their live record, Greatest Hits.

"The artwork for that live record was a photo taken by Ann Sydney Taylor at another one of our shows on that forever tour, after some guy groped LG's body while she was playing," Chase recounts. "She beat him down right there with her guitar."

Thelma and the Sleaze rock Rudyard's tonight with the Bad Drugs and Giant Kitty. Doors open at 9 p.m.
