Rocktapussy

about

Rocktapussy is more than just an amazing collaboration between two talented (and delectable) women known as DJ Mother Hubbard (Chess Hubbard) and DJ A-Cup (Jessica Gonyea). Rocktapussy is an experience - an experience involving three turntables and a microphone, not to mention 2 laptops, 2 mixers and a kaoss pad (and if you're lucky, a pick axe and night goggles). The seeds for Rocktapussy were planted early, when Hubbard and Gonyea were still in the single digits and would sit around the sandbox discussing whether "Space Oddity" was the product of Bowie using the song's lyrics as an allegory for the arising culture of drug use, or if the song was simply meant to be taken at face value and was nothing more than a bittersweet ballad about a pilot lost in space. Since those sandbox days, Hubbard and Gonyea have been inseparable, minus a few months in the summer of 1991 when Hubbard went off to Camp Crossfade (a camp for young DJs, deep in the woods of northern Michigan) and Gonyea was dejectedly left at home to spend her days watching Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers. Happily, the two made-up several weeks later, and they've been producing indie/electro/rock ever since. Even before attending Camp Crossfade, Hubbard knew that being a DJ was in her blood (according to her mother, her first word was "Allen&Heath"). Furthermore, Hubbard's other love of videogames led to a guest spot on the PBS children's show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (Sadly, the episode was never aired
