    Here's a tune I wrote the music for back in 2006-7, when I played in an all-girl band called Fidget. We were pop-punk, really commercial sounding. Supposedly Hollywood Records was interested in us, but sadly, like a lot of bands, bad management was our downfall. Our singer, Nicole, had the lyrics and vocal melody worked out and I wrote the music to it. Nicole then took the demo to L.A. and had Mike Krompass (Smashmouth, Jordan Knight, Natasha Bedingfield, et al) and Randy Cooke (Melissa Ethridge, Kelly Clarkson, Rik Emmett, et al) of The Playground Studio play and record the song. The best compliment I ever got about this song was when I played my last gig with Fidget and a woman came up to me and gave me huge props and said the song reminded her of L7. Yeah, all pounding downstrokes, baby!

ABOUT

"The female Johnny Ramone"

Guitarist for all-girl hardcore punk band Pantychrist (www.pantychrist.net) and hardcore/rock'n'roll band Tough fu*kin' sh*t (www.toughfu*kinsh*t.com). I also do my own music, which can be completely different from what I play with my bands. I have a punk rock background but my style is unique, with influences ranging from psychedelic to metal to emo and all points in between.

I have a lot of incomplete songs from over the years that I would eventually like to finish. What I need most to finish these songs is a singer and drummer. I'll be posting a lot of these tracks (most of which are rehearsal recordings) in the hopes of finding collaborators to get all this stuff done.

Bands I play(ed) with: Pantychrist, Tough fu*kin' sh*t, Slander, The Johnnys, Fidget, The Impatiens, Trans Love Airways

My bands and projects: Emma-O, Kundalunatic, Narciscissors, Dronica, The Gloom, Pimpinella, Underwire
