Random Friday ~ Girls & Their Bands


So The Duchess and I were talking the other day. She has a problem with musicians (of both sexes) who use their name in front of a band’s name. She think it makes the “leader” seem conceded. Like they should either be a solo artist with just their name OR in the band as the band’s name. She said this kind of taints her feelings about the musician. That she has a harder time listening to them. (I hope I explained that properly!?!)

I never really noticed. Nor thought about this. But it did give a random post of girls using their names AND a band name.

In beta-alpha-cal order:

Tina And The B-Side Movement ~ Shine Your Light

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings ~ 100 Days

Sarah Borges & Broken Singles ~ The Day We Met

Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories ~ Sandalwood

Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs ~ You Can’t Buy A Gun

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals ~ Ain’t No Time

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton ~ Winning

Elizabeth & The Catapult ~ Momma’s Boy

Clare & The Reasons ~ Pluton

Bernadette Seacrest And Her Yes Men ~ Sweet Salvation

Barbara Cohen And Little Lizard ~ Can’t Help Falling In Love

Adrienne Young & Little Sadie ~ My Love Will Keep

More randomness.

Many of these artists are available for your 25 FREE DOWNLOADS from eMusic.

My favorite "So & So & the So & Sos" group is Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers.

I first encountered her when I was at work, and a customer called and asked for the cd. I made him repeat the group name several times just for the fun of it (hey when one works in retail hell, one does what one must to stay sane). Anywho, Ms. Smith is awesome, and from what I've read I think you'll like her, if you don't already know her.
