I admit I’m a music snob. I am, however, a little more critical of female musicians then I am of male musicians. Why? The reason for this is that male musicians generally all suck and if you throw a stone in any direction in any city you’ll hit a shitty one. However, I feel that women in general are much more discerning about most things and so I expect great things. This being a topic of musicians in a generally chauvinistic industry, there are obviously those chicks that try and build a career on tits, make-up and the aping of already established acts. For instance, when No Doubt hit it big, any blond with an ok voice and abs thought they could be Gwen Stefani, which isn’t the case. In any case, the crux of this one sided convo is that there are very talented individuals who don’t play those games and unfortunately fall through the cracks. One of those groups is the band Bleach03 or just Bleach as they are apparently known everywhere else in the world. Bleach, were a Japanese girl band that embodied one part Minutemen, to 2 parts Amphetamine Reptile-esque hardcore noise punk. Whatever the hell that sounds like right? Well, it sounded great and it didn’t matter, so they’ve broken up. They did a few tours of the states, played SXSW and Amoeba and after a few years, gave up the ghost. Total bummer, they had the chops to be cute enough to lull you into a state of total submission on one song and then when you least expected it, they would attack in the first note of the next song; totally ripping to shreds any semblance of sweetness they may have perpetrated. These bitches were amazing, and I bet could give any “Boy” band a run for their money live. Alas, we may never know, because they are off to do other things in Okinawa, Japan. Shit.
