Luscious Jackson is working on a new CD - I'm pretty jazzed about that!

/would enjoy some more Kostars and Dusty Trails, too!
//Jill and Gabby both put out pretty decent CD's a few years ago, too.

I kind of miss angry bands from the 90's.

Back? They never went anywhere.

/Sleater-Kinney forever

I'm OK with this.

i remember laughing when they said Allanus Morisette was some kind of angry woman messiah, as i rocked to PJ Harvey's Rid of Me.

Did girl bands GO anywhere? Why does it matter, in 2012, if the band is all chicks? Oh, the drummer is a girl *too*? Whooptie shiat.

The day people stop making a big deal about women doing things will be the day they achieve equality.

All the girls are playing cello for indie rock bands.



/Still haven't taken WIld Flag out of my car's CD player.
//should listen to sleater-kinney.

Well, as a white male, I can say that I am angry at myself for being so racist due to listening to bands of angry white women.

I like when they are singing about how much they want me but I don't like it when they are singing about how much I suck.

Also, some might be aware that my Farkonym comes from a comedy bit including this Girl Band:

I'm looking forward to seeing Wild Flag this April.

One of the artists at the forefront of this movement is JD Samson, known best for her work in Le Tigre and, more recently, dance-punk group MEN.

You're not really "back" if you've been making music for over a decade.

What about girl fronted bands?

I'm a male and I vastly prefer female fronted bands to male fronted ones. I think the female singing voice is much more enjoyable than the male in most places, especially since all the new male fronted rock bands have a singer that sounds like Nickelback.

/loves Metric
//and Tegan & Sara
///I dont drive a Subaru Outback

Lucious Jackson voiced the Sega Saturn game Enemy Zero.

Here, have some girl bands.

Saw them in Austin two years ago. So much fun.

Most of the good stuff I've been listening to lately are due co-ed bands. The Kills, Cults, Phantogram, Matt and Kim. Shiat, I wish Beat Happening would come back.
/am old enough to remember to listening to bh and bikini kill on the bus, so therefore too old to be a hipster

And Vivian Girls sounds good on one listen, but after a while it gets really grating, and then you see them open for another band like I did and you realize that this is a summary of every song.

"Myyyyy booooyfriiieeeend. My boy-oyyyyyyy-friend. Myyyyyyy boyfriiiiiieeeeeeennnnnnnnnnd."

Stop singing for just 2 seconds and play. Gah!

One more:

so... women are accepting their proper, subservient, role to men in the world? Thank God.

Now, you suck
Suck it hard
Go down, baby
You suck
Lick it hard
And move your tongue around

/always wondered what that song was about...

Mr. Chainsaw: master of unlocking: I'm looking forward to seeing Wild Flag this April.

Seeing them for the 2nd and 3rd time at the end of March. I'm trying to make up for the fact that I never saw Sleater-Kinney. Speaking of S-K, I'm starting to hear rumblings that their hiatus may be ending in the near future.
.

Not to rub it in, but I got to see Sleater-Kinney 7 times. They're phenomenal. One of the best concerts I ever went to was New Years Eve Madison Square Garden with S-K, Flaming Lips and Wilco. The Lips brought out Corin to sing War Pigs. It was rad.

There's plenty of great female bands, or females in bands out there. They typically aren't shoved down the throat. Two great places to find some well written, deeper lyrics are in the trip-hop type of music. Layla Ali (of Sneaker Pimps) still writes and releases, Supreme Beings of Leisure have put out some of the most sublime albums to listen too. Little Dragon has been very enjoyable.

And then there's rockabilly/psychobilly filled with women who kick farking ass. The Horrorpops, the Wolfgangs, the Silverettes, Chilli and the Baracudas, Imelda May, Atomic Aces, Tihuya Cats and a recent favorite of mine Hillbilly Moon Explosion (new window).

There has never been a shortage of passionate, talented, kick ass females in music...EVER! Ask Wanda Jackson. It's about a prfile at times, and profitability. Which is why the twinkie of the music world (female pop) has been crammed down our throats as of late as opposed to good, quality music. It carries a profile and makes money.

Forty-eight years ago today the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. And of course there's no mention on Fark. Son, I am disappoint.

Melody Gardot is pretty damned awesome.

/also a fan of Regina Spektor.

That's Kelli Ali. Quite like her first two solo albums.

Mrs. Highway likes Tracy and the Plastics and Chicks on Speed. They are pretty good.

Just as long as there are good instrumental parts ... but hat goes for all pop music ... getting sick of 3 minute all-singing songs ... need some girl prog.

Check out Purple Rhinestone Eagle. They broke up, but shiat that guitar player was good.

You kids and your funny girl band names....

^ What a band pissed off at you for your unconscious role in a male-dominated patriachal society might look like.

Came here to see if anybody mentioned Jack off Jill.
Left sad.

what about that metal band full of puerto rican chicks. dig it!

You are correct. Apologies to Kelli and Layla Ali. My memory...why is it muddled?

Swoop1809: I think the female singing voice is much more enjoyable than the male in most places,

ditto.

This is totally a bookmark for some new music. Feel free to make suggestions.

The Like

Sweet, does this mean Tatu is reuniting?

What's the over/under on the last Wanda Jackson? On one hand, it was her most listenable record in... well... decades. But I'm kind of torn on the horns. I associate her with a specific guitar sound and here it was replaced with really brassy horns, which had an almost similar effect (though they made her sound "old", appropriate or not - like some "Sha Na Na" retro act), and I just... can't quite fall on one side or the other on it.

I did think she did mighty justice to some of the songs.

who's that guy in the background with the stache?

Bands with male instrumentalists and female lead vocalists are nothing but a bunch of Pretenders.

Eh, who gives a fark how angry they are. The only thing that matters is that I see enough skin to make fapping easy.
