tunes i <3: SPINNERETTE

Spinnerette centerpiece Brody Dalle has come a long way since her days as the Distiller's singer/guitarist, a "frontwoman with balls - and chops - to stare down any man on the strip who thought leather pants and rock music was just for the boys".  After a long and very confusing path of band after band, Dalle finally settled into the American alternative rock band, SPINNERETTE. The band consists of Brody Dalle, Tony Bevilacqua (former Distillers band mate), Jack Irons (of Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Alain Johannes (of Queens of the Stone Age). Although the band as a different touring line-up then their recordings, Dalle brings this crazy energy onto the stage that basically makes up for it. Very reminiscent to one of my favorite bands, The Kills, Spinnerette has an alternative rock sound with a punk edge (ie amazingness). 

Spinnerette released their self-titled album a few weeks ago in June. I'm still loving their song "Ghetto Love" (released on an EP last December), but my new obsessions are "Geeking" (Joan Jett anyone...), "Sex Bomb" and "Rebellious Palpitations".
