Bridget the Midget Band leads a four-band punk-o-rama at Planet Gemini.

Bridget Powers embraces her politically incorrect stage name, Bridget the Midget.

“It’s punk rock, right?” she says. “Who gives a fuck?”

The 3-foot-9-inch Powers, who’s technically a dwarf, commands total vocal domination fronting her punk group The Bridget the Midget Band. On raucous escapades including “American Farmboy” and “Grandfather Clock,” the Las Vegas outfit’s raunchy three-chord Ramones-esque melodies blend seamlessly with the attitude of nihilistic ’90s grunge outsiders, a la Veruca Salt.

Shortly after the band formed and named itself Blakkout, they made the switch to The Bridget the Midget Band. Powers says the name immediately attracted larger crowds; she has already amassed a cult following from her stint as a pornstar in the late ’90s, appearing in more than 100 adult films as Bridget the Midget.

But it’s been nearly 20 year since Powers made a skin flick. She’s one of the few who are able to survive a crossover from porn to the mainstream. While she’s not a family household name quite yet, Powers has appeared and starred in several television shows, including VH1’s The Surreal Life. She’s also stars in some legitimate, star-studded Hollywood movies. Most notably, Powers plays Gary Oldman’s wife in the quirky, somewhat obscure Tiptoes, which also stars Matthew McConaughey and Patricia Arquette.

Meanwhile, The Bridget the Midget Band is just one of the four bands performing Friday at Planet Gemini. San Jose punk/hardcore foursome Sad Boy Sinister, longtime local psychobilly group Psychos in Love and Salinas hardcore/punk duo F.U.X. kick off an expansive night of music. Don’t forget your earplugs.

THE BRIDGET THE MIDGET BAND, SAD BOY SINISTER, PSYCHOS IN LOVE and F.U.X. 9pm Friday, Feb. 2. Planet Gemini, 2110 Fremont St., Monterey. $10. planetgemini.com
