Sinister: little drummer girls
by Tara Widmer 30 Jun '98

<<If anybody out there has some info on great female drummers I'd quite like to hear it.>> There is Molly from the Peechees, her from Sleater-Kinney and whatsherface from Hole. Whether they qualify as "great" is open for debate I guess... Other bands with chicks on sticks (sorry) that actually might be considered good are Beat Happening(I think), Imperial Teen and Apples in Stereo. <<Moe Tucker of The Veelvets and Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo have been accounted for as have such bands as The Go Gos and The Bangles.>> Moe has her own official website, worth checking out if you're a fan. She does it herself, and seems really down to earth and not at all what you'd expect someone who was part of such a legendary band to be like! Mostly she writes about her family and friends, and she has some of her most recent work available through mail-order. it's at: http://www.spearedpeanut.com/tajmoehal <<well, who drummed for Vixen?>> Vixen!!! *sigh* Picture me, aged fourteen... enamoured with a certain Norwegian exchange student at school...whose locker was by some stroke of luck RIGHT next to mine... only to look inside his one day and find it completely plastered with pictures of hair metal's own proto-Spice girls:-( There is an article featuring Vixen in the latest Details, it's actually pretty interesting!! shouldn't i be working right now...oh yes... tarabelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Worthwhile Glasgow gig on Friday
by Karen David 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Hello. Just Neil here again to say that if anyone in the Glasgow area is at a loose end on Friday night, then they might fancy taking a gig I can recommend. The line-up is Astrid, Camera Obscura and our own Luscious "Stevie" Jackson, and it takes place in Hyndland Church Hall, which is at 24 Novar Drive. If you don't know how to get there, err, get a taxi. No, It's off Hyndland Rd on the left-hand side as you go uphill. Hyndland Rd, or Highburgh Rd as it is for the first bit, comes off Byres Rd at the crossroads with University Avenue. So you could get the tube to Hillhead and take the ten minute walk up Highburgh/ Hyndland Rd, or get a 44A bus, which drops you just at the top of Novar Drive, about 50 yds from the Church Hall. Additional sounds will be provided by DJ Wee Beans Geddes, and I'll be there at the door to fleece you for £2.50. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Why the interest in Women Drummers you ask?
by EmitEcaps＠aol.com 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Well, to make a long story short, my boyfriend was telling me about this guy who gave a report on drumming in one of his speech classes, and at the end came to the conclusion that drumming was basically a "male thing" because few females were very good at it. To prove his point he said, "See if anybody here can come up with a famous female drummer that's not in an all girl band." My boyfriend shot his hand up and said "Moe Tucker from the Velvet Underground." to which he replied, "I mean from bands people have heard of." Grrr... Having this conversation just created this NEED for us to come up with as many as we could. Just in case we need to whip out a list in the future. :D Also I'm a female and I play the drums..... Thank you all so far!! We Got The Beat, emitecaps ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Hmm, well I agree that the house of love went to seed - I think it was the lack of media support plus things went sour with their record company - fontana? However, have you listened to the new Guy Chadwick album, Lazy Soft & Slow? It is really really good. I reckon if you like B&S, you'll probably like this album, it's very laid-back & ballad-y. A bare handful of songs sound like v. early HOL, but for the most it is a new direction, really charming stuff. I saw the House of Love several times, and went to see Guy Chadwick back in ooh, March I guess... it was a pity to see him reduced to playing to such a small crowd - small venue, nowhere near packed out AND I overheard one of the roadies saying it was a good turnout!!! > espadrille > > (lsitening to mark hollis, the jesus and mary chain's darklands and > spiritualized's ladies and gents etc. at the moment) It amazes me it's taken so long for people to 'get' spiritualized, personally speaking I think their other albums are equally great. regards, stephen (listening to tortoise's tnt and craig armstrong's the space between us at the moment) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Looper & Broadcast
by Mark Iles 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Okay, I missed the Looper thing (doh!). Is it possible to hear any of their songs still via RealAudio on the net somewhere? Pretty please? Not at all B&S related, but Broadcast are on John Peel's programme tonight as part of the Meltdown festival. Tune in because they're ace. They're even worth missing the football for.
