When is it OK to pass on The Gossip? Always.

BYOB. That's what 'The Gossip' brings to the party.

Bring Your Own Boo-yah.

I pulled down a few mp3's from The Gossip yesterday afternoon and gave them a listen. A few things happened:

1. I wanted to dance.
2. I wanted to clap.
3. I wanted more.

At first (and I mean, absolute first) thought, Janis Joplin may pop in your head to describe the vocal sound of Beth Dittto. But then that thought quickly disappears, because she doesn't sound like she's smoking every experimental drug known to man. She sounds great; quiet and calm when it calls for it, and then belts out bluesy sonic booms at the drop of a hat, to turn up the heat a few degrees. The music beside her - awesome! Great, innovative drummer, great guitarist.

That equals a great find in my book. But what do I know? I'm just bloggin' yo.

So, of course they've been around for 4 years and I'm just now finding out about them. C'mon people, I need help with this. That's what this site is for - to kill the typical four year gap that I experience while trying to find new, good music. Did I mention they'll be in Cleveland when Pretty Girls Make Graves are here? That just upped my appearance factor by 115%.

By the way....we now own 'punchthefloor.com' and this site will be redirected in the near future. The site will also undergo a rehaul, in an effort to attract the other 5,999,999,995 people on planet earth, that haven't realized that Punch The Floor packs more vitamin nutrition than a bowl of Total.
