Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

The Rebel Pebbles - Girls Talk
I suppose I'm a fan of girl groups.
The Go-Go's, The Bangles, The Pandoras, L7,
Heart (yeah, yeah, I know they don't count but still...).
The thing is, though, I don't really think of them as girl groups.
I know there are women in the groups and all but I tend think of them as just
bands.
The Rebel Pebbles,
on the other hand, I do think of them as a girl group.
Girls Talk
came out in 1991 and I had never heard of it until a month ago
(it came out during
the KNAC years
so I wasn't hearing a lot of non-metal
at the time, I suspect).
Anyway, it's not a bad album (way out of print but you can find it
used for cheap--I did).
Sure there are some clunkers
(did 1991 really need a song called Groovy Love?)
but it also has a few gems like
How Do You Feel
and the way-too-cute
Eskimo and Butterfly.
I have to mention
Anthony's Attic,
a song about--I kid you not--how sexy intelligent men can be
(it manages to be both sexy and weird at the same time).
The band (with ex-Pandoras
drummer
Karen Blankfeld
playing guitar)
released their one album and sort of disintegrated
(on-the-road stress, etc. though the
impending Nirvana tsunami might have had something to do with it).
I figure I'm not the only fan of girl groups that had not
heard of them, so I submit for your approval: The Rebel Pebbles.
