    7 women w/ voluptuous brains & intelligent physiques. Leonard Abrams of New York Rocker says: Homer Erotic is a band that's so original they almost need their own section at the music store. All female, all poetic, all the basic musical food groups, yet so tight and fluid you'd think the world of music was made just for them . . . together, these seven women create an oddysey of music, wit and jubilation, creating songs your mind's ear will play again and again.
