I'm a little late with my Lux Interior tribute post, but better late than never. For
those of you who aren't familiar with him, Lux was the lead singer of
the Cramps- a super rad, super trashy, super gay punk band that was
active from the early 70s up until Lux's death earlier this month.
Pitchfork TV has some awesome video of a 21-minute set by Hercules and Love Affair. Check this out if you are into disco, the Talking Heads, Hedwig, or Brooklyn sunsets. Not to spoil it for you, but their closer ("Hercules Theme") is incredible (video after the jump).
Calling all feminist music fans! We here at Bitch are super-psyched to be sponsoring a party at this year's SXSW with our awesome friends at Kill Rock Stars. The details:
Wednesday, March 18 @ Club Deville (900 Red River)
12:00 to 6:00 p.m.
The Thermals! Marnie Stern! Thao! Bitch merch! And oh so much more!
Read on for more about the awesome KRS bands playing the party, and to let us know if we'll see you there!
Notice that the Bitch blog just got a little more AWESOMER recently?
If not, check out the sidebar for our latest feature: BitchTapes! A weekly eight song playlist to get your weekend off right (or just to get you through Friday). Read on for my tracklist!
Last night, Annalee and I saw Swedish darling Lykke Li at the Hawthorne Theater here in Portland. The show included a kazoo solo, a megaphone, and covers of both Lil Wayne and Tribe Called Quest songs. Read on for more!
Ready to put women back in the story?
If you care about amplifying progressive women's voices in the media, WAM! is for you, whether you're a media producer or a PR strategist, a journalist, an activist, an academic, a community organizer, a feminist, a funder or philanthropist, a "citizen" media watchdog, a media policy advocate, an alternative-network-builder, a blogger, writer, teacher, artist, technology trainer, cartoonist, deejay, or anything else.
Does the Bitch website look a little bit extra stylish to you? If so, it's probably due to the oh-so-super tote bags we have for sale! (Get yours now by clicking here.) The tote bags have been so popular, we don't want to stop there. Take a quick poll after the jump and let us know what other Bitch merch you'd like to see! 'Tis the season, after all.
Last night,
