SCENE + HEARD: Laura Bell Bundy Puts The "Cunt Back In Country"

(Laura Bell Bundy & Dougie Meyer @ Splash)
 

“This was my first performance period with my new music!” exclaimed an exuberant and surely exhausted Laura Bell Bundy after her first set of songs  at Splash's John Blair Saturdays. Bringing remixed versions off of her new country album Achin' and Shakin', Bundy transformed before our eyes from Broadway princess (of Hairspray, Wicked and Legally Blonde fame) to pop diva with the aid of sexy dancers and buxom backup singers.
 
“I’ve heard it said that you [should] give your music back to your fans first,” said Bundy, “and the gays have always been my first fans! Like they said in Sex And The City: ‘First the gays, then the girls and then the rest!’” —Christopher Dilley
