#11 Bikini Kill
Monday, April 26th, 2010
So I haven’t done this in a while. Oh well. But thought I would go a little bit out of order. My obsession with girl fronted punk rock started pretty early. I think it all started when I went to a battle of the bands at Kings Court and saw FUR play for the first time. I truly become obsessed with the singer Tammy. The next time I saw them was at some weird outdoor festival in South Dakota or something. I forget, but they killed it that night…along with 10 Second Fuse.
Anyway alot of girls we had crushes on at the time were way into Riot Grrrl stuff. I was more on the fringe listening to Sonic Youth and more so Babes in Toyland. But anyway, the point is, this record kicks ass. Totally changed my thinking on what Riot Grrl music was. And maybe still is, although seems like its all been pretty watered down. I like fucking…one of the best songs ever!
