The <a href="http://mercuryloungenyc.com/event/3885">Mercury Lounge reports</a> that Cat's NYC chick-a-billy trip "Puss "n Boots" will be opening for Doveman tomorrow night. Purportedly this group consists of "Sasha Dobson (vocals/guitar) Catherine Popper (bass/vocals) and <strong>Avril Lavigne (eyeliner/snarl).</strong>"

We'll wait on Popper to provide us an update on what must have been a major musical coup to replace former band member Norah Jones with the rough and ready Lavigne. We're hoping for a "get fucked" response. If indeed this notice was some sort of editorial typo we're still hoping that Popper can be listed as (bass/vocals/eyeliner/snarl). Hate to lose that. <small>Yes, yes, we know that the Myspace page linked in the article claims that Lavigne is in the band. It also says that the band is "inveterate professionals with disciplined performances and impeccable stage etiquette." - only the snark challenged would miss that one.</small>

<strong>Ode to Lavigne</strong>
She’s like so whatever
And you can do so much better
