Gossip
Originally from Searcy, AR, this punk trio moved to Olympia, WA, joining the roster of the indie rock label K Records. Guitarist Nathan (aka Brace Paine), drummer Kathy, and singer Beth proclaimed, "We started a band 'cause we were bored. Our mission is to make you dance, and if you're not gonna dance, just stay at home and listen to the oldies station." K released a self-titled 7" in 1999, and their full-length debut, That's Not What I Heard, was distributed by Kill Rock Stars in late 2000. The Gossip were highly visible due to their exposure in ...[more]

The first thing that strikes you is the rhythm. The Gossip have been making punks dance since they debuted five years ago, long before dance punk existed. Soulful and jagged, you can hear everything from Dischord to Motown. The vocals resonate with the confidence of the lyrics, asking people to hold on just a little bit longer, reassuring youth that there are others out there, and spitting in the face of all who say otherwise. Their third album was recorded by Guy Picciotto (Fugazi). This is the sound of a [ read more ]

When 22-year-old Beth Ditto soul-croons, "Well honey honey, honey, honey /I could be so good to you baby," you want her to -- badly. The Gossip's second full-length outing, Movement, transcends elementary roots-riot-garage, injects it with a hefty helpin' of Arkansas-bred gospel, and filters it backwards through Gories and Pussy Galore territory with a new, more pervasively unapologetic confidence. The band has grown new wings and given loft to some of their more expressive experimentalist leanings a [ read more ]

In the late 90s, this Arkansas trio brought their minimalist garage drums, raucous blues guitar, and Elvis-from-hell yowl to Olympia, WA and recorded an EP and two full-lengths for Kill Rock Stars. Now, Dim Mak presents "Undead In NYC", recorded live at New York's Knitting Factory in July 2002. The Gossip are meant to be seen onstage. Beth Ditto's vocals fill venues like an auditory tidal wave, and her bantering interaction with audiences is legendary. She's bratty, funny, rude, sassy, and always engaging. [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The latest release from Gossip, Music for Men. Gossip is a band. We formed eight years ago. We grew down in Arkansas. We were raised by cassette tapes, wild coyotes and mothers. We are interested in change, fashion, art, dancing + movies. We currently live in Portland, Oregon. We are always on tour. We only exist to inspire. We encourage you to listen to Nico, Glenn Branca, The Shaggs and Yoko Ono and pick up a guitar and start your own band! Perfection is not real. That is all.

New album from the Olympia-by-way-of-Arkansas transplants. They really do sound like a vaguely punker, female-fronted version of George Thorogood and the Destroyers. At its growliest, Beth's voice recalls Danzig's early solo work. And, in keeping with a current trend, this is a bassless outfit. Though Nathan (no, they don't have last names) holds his own on guitar, the sparse setup wears out quickly. There's only so much sonic dynamic you can wring out of one barely varied blues-riff and Spartan drumming. S [ read more ]
