I am obsessed with girl bands. I love how they sound and I love what they represent. I've always preferred female voices in music and I love to watch ladies killing it on stage. When we were in tenth grade, Meredith got a drum set. Bailey and Laura both played guitar, and my cousin conveniently had a bass she didn't play anymore and was willing to give to me, and so our band was formed. As time went on we decided we needed a keyboardist...cue Elisa. Anyway, we called ourselves The Decos and we played songs about how much the Valley sucked and boys who wore tight pants. We also made t-shirts and buttons, and had band practice Fridays after school. Our band practices usually consisted of a play through of our songs:
Boys Don't Cry
(ft. the steel drum affect on Elisa's keyboard)
Psycho Killer
(Laura and I killed these vocals, thank you very much)
Yourtown, USA
(our hit, featuring an entire verse in Spanish)
and then about 3+ more hours of listening to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, laying down a lot, eating pizza, and trying to play each other's instruments. Then we broke up because of creative differences or something.
I've been listening to Warpaint pretty much non stop lately, which in turn has inspired me to listen to more all girl and girl fronted bands. So, here are just a few of my favorite seriously bad ass bitches in music:
