““Our band represents having the courage to go for your dreams in spite of the barriers that come between making your dreams a reality. In our case, it’s OK to play like a girl, because girls rock and so do we!” So declares Cougrzz Rock! frontwoman Chrissy Marquez. It’s a bold statement, but fitting considering this band is a collection of courageous cougars that covers every genre of your favorite hits—belting out familiar lyrics with a sexy spin for the past three years. It wasn’t easy getting this girls-only rock band together. But these cougars overcame that challenge and followed their dreams to form the sassy and successful all-female Cougrzz Rock!”

“The other comedy show we saw was at the Ontario Improv. Kelly Mauricio is a vice principal with an interesting sideline. She puts together comedy shows to raise money for breast cancer treatment and awareness. She has been doing so for the last four years and brings together a number of female comedians to share their experiences as women in a humorous way. We caught the show on December 14th at the Ontario Improv and found much to laugh at. Opening the show was a band called Cougrzz Rock. This quartet of female musicians ran through a set of classic rock that included songs by Melissa Etheridge, Pat Benetar and Blondie, but did not leave out the boys, as Bob Seger and other male artists were also represented. They were an excellent group to warm up the crowd. One table of women (some of whom turned out to be breast cancer survivors) kept getting up and dancing and giving each other lap dances, much to the surprise and delight of the audience around them.”
