.chastity belt

God bless these bands from the Pacific NW or West Coast coming to the East Coast to tour. First Tacocat, then Peach Kelli Pop, now Chastity Belt. I feel like this is a new wave of riotgrrrl bands even though we are in a different decade and that's probably not what they are going for. Still. All female bands rule in my book.

Time to Go Home is their most recent album which I dig. I really liked what I heard and how the band switched it up with different members singing a few songs even though Julia sang most of the songs. The funniest thing was their banter between songs. Some guy yelled out "I love your Jag" (referring to her guitar) and the band sarcastically said "We love talking about gear. All kinds of gear." Most of their set was more recent songs. Julia said their new album would come out in 2017. Gretchen commented on the wall graffiti in the bathroom and said more people need to add tally marks to "Number of people chillin." She also commented on bulletin boards she noticed on her ride here that were pretty deep. The most annoying thing were the bros. I mean this guy near me was so annoying. After every fucking song he had to do an annoying "Yeeeee-aaaahhhh" I mean, they get it. I don't know what is worse, that or the guys moshing to Peach Kelli Pop's "Princess Castle 1987." 

After the show the band was preoccupied with friends so I didn't have a chance to say "Hi." Bro grabbed the set list and two others grabbed the remaining ones as well. Since my friend missed the show I picked her and myself up tee shirts with a caricature of the band posing in front of the Space Needle. Can't wait to sport it!
