So, just how ’90s were ’90s alternative pop-rockers Letters to Cleo? Let us put it to you this way: they were a favorite band of Julia Stiles’s character in the quintessential ’90s Taming of the Shrew modernization, Ten Things I Hate About You. Boo Ya! Tonight at Cafe 939, former Cleo vocalist Kay Hanley alt-rocks some Clinton-era angst retooled for the ‘Bama generation. Take it away, Petruchio. “Say that she rail, why then I’ll tell her plain/ She sings as sweetly as a nightin—no, wait. She’s railing. She’s railing so good.”
