Le Tigre Karaoke Contest!

In anticipation for Le Tigre: On Tour DVD, Le Tigre are off the street and on the internet with official facebook and twitter sites. And when they get 1,000 followers on facebook and twitter they will post a clip from the movie, so tell your friends. They are also running a Karoke Contest.  You can find backing tracks to Deceptacon, Hot Topic, Keep on Livin', Nanny Nanny Boo Boo and TKO on their official Myspace site.

You can send videos, audio tracks, or covers with your own instruments to LeTigreContest@gmail.com.  The submissions will be posted on their blog and the winner will get a bag full of Le Tigre goodies.  So let's get creative people! And I can't wait to see your entries!  

 

 

 

     

 

      

The Gits Movie

In the early 90's my mum told me about a band called The Gits. She saw a clip of them on Unsolved Mysteries and knew I would love the band.

Last summer I had the opportunity to go to the NYC movie premiere of The Gits Movie and the accompanying show. The movie is amazing, and definitely worth watching. The Gits are one of my favorite bands. Thanks mum!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains

This flick was originally released in 1981, but Rhino recently put it out on DVD for those of us who missed it the first time around. Three young girls (Diane Lane, Laura Dern and Marin Kanter) start a punk band whose motto is "We don't put out!" At times it is a little cheesy (there is the classic story of 15 minutes of fame and then the fading away) BUT it is worth watching it for sure! And for you Sex Pistols fans, Steve Jones and Paul Cook are in it, and for the Clash fans, Paul Simonon is in it too!

The Donnas

The Donnas recently released Greatest Hits, Vol. 16 on their own label, Bitchin'. They are on tour with Blondie and Pat Benetar so check out www.thedonnas.com for their tour schedule.

The video below is from the Desert Moon 2 Live DVD featuring the song "Take It Off." You can get the 2 Live DVD's at Underground Shoppe but hurry because there's a limited supply!
