They're back.

After four silent years, the Red Hot Mamas are coming back by producing a new group, "Fossilrock."

"A little bit older; a little bit wiser (sorta) and a whole lotta funny," said a press release.

Mikki Stevens is president of the new endeavor with Vicky Jo Carey as vice president. Becky Lassiter is performance director and Karen Welts and Karen Huntington are the administrative angels.

Fossilrock will be a majority of women over 50 with previous show biz experience.

"The group plans to perform for community service, assisted living centers, churches, and anyone else that won't call the cops," Stevens said in a press release.

An appearance in San Diego, New York, or Washington, D.C., may also be in the future. The group's mission is to bring joy to others.

Founded in 1993, The Red Hot Mamas performed from San Diego to London, England, with featured shows at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It also appear on TV, including "Good Morning America," MTV, and "Nightline."

Fossilrock is looking for positive-thinking women to join in comedy shows combining aging-to-perfection bodies with professionally staged show numbers.

"We're going to make fun of everything we can think of - and some things we can't remember," Stevens said.

Qualifications: Physically fit, vibrant, vintage women with experience in dance, drill team, singing, acting, wardrobe and/or stage tech. All sizes, ages 18 and over, and shapes encouraged.

Auditions will be held 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday at the Coeur d'Alene Athletic Club, 208 Coeur d'Alene Ave.

Future Fossils should be prepared to dance, sing, and strut their special talents.

There is a $10 audition fee by check or cash.
