How did the Boom Chica Boom Girls come to be?
Boom Chica Boom is a two-woman go-go troupe that formed in Austin, Texas in the summer of 2002. I grew up in Redlands, California and moved to Austin to earn a Bachelor degree in magazine journalism, as well as an Associate degree in photography. Now I’m a full-time freelance photographer. Beth Schindler grew up in Austin, studied welding and metal arts, and currently works full-time at Waterloo Record Store. We were both working casually as go-go dancers on an irregular basis. Boom Chica Beth worked with Kings and Things with their drag king shows, and I was dancing at a monthly 80s dance party. After we met, our absolute love for dancing convinced us to form a troupe and market the hell out of it in the garage scene here in Austin. Since its inception, we have danced throughout the U.S., toured the Northeast, and will be relocating to Chicago. Can you give us a taste of a Boom Chica Boom performance?
