THIS IS SO GOOD. So weird and good!

Right on! Phew, I was begining to feel lonely on this thread. I'm not sure if this release will make much of a splash. The label seems like a shoestring operation and as I mentioned upthread a couple of years ago, this scene continues to be rigorously low-key which is to me irritating. The Pups show I saw a while back was in a room behind a shop. The other time was in someone's garage. That one was great. Anyway, it's a split with another local all-girl band, Movieland who are superb fun. Finally saw them a couple weeks back in a real venue with proper amps and lights and things and it was raging.

i like that

Caught Rose playing in a duo called Imaginary Pants. Usual story - I had no idea this band existed and was just randomly checking out one of those multi-band local shows having no idea what most of it was about. Saw her in the audience and think "oh that's nice she's here supporting the youngsters" then shortly after she's getting up on stage and hammering out 20 mins of what is generally termed "blistering indie-pop". A lovely surprise. She's singing and mostly on drums (she's good!) and there's a feller on guitar and a little keyboard who does harmonies. They have a tape out which doesn't quite do them justice IMHO - not as forceful as they are live. They're doing some dates in California next week. http://imaginarypants.bandcamp.com/

Awesome! Loved when Rose made appearances at Chickfactor a few years ago.
