Episode 52: Lety Beers - "Sixteen Candles" (1984)

The return of our first guest for her personal pick! Lety Beers is the drummer and founding member of the Schizophonics. She’s played in several projects that include the Rosalyns, the Little Richards, Bobby and Pins and often fills in when the legendary El Vez needs a drummer or bassist. When she’s not busy ripping it up all over the globe on her drum kit you can find her dancing in the front row at a show, skating with her skate gang, spinning records at one of the local hot spots or hanging out with her wiener dog, Beanie. "Sixteen Candles" (1984): A suburban Chicago teen, Samantha Baker, is forced to deal with an extended family that has forgotten her 16th birthday on the eve of her older sisters wedding.
