All right rock nerds...
Friday Arvo / night in our house is YouTube through the stereo night ....mums off at yoga and dinner with the girls and we - 9 yr old daughter and 8 yr old son - work, cook and hang in unfettered bliss....

We each get two songs at a time and NOTHING is off limits musically - the nine yr old is permitted Bieber just as Dads more noise stuff.

Tonight after I did The Drones and Pollyanna back to back the boy remarked at female bass players

( the smithereens - behind the wall of sleep - " she stood just like bill wyman now I am her biggest fan")

We started to list the ones we know - now We throw open to 'breezers rock nerds

Gold medal went to the 9yr old for screaming "Dirty boots" despite not knowing the individual/ artist. It was a hell of a get considering its not high rotation here....

So here goes and outing myself as a 90's tragic

The Drones - Fiona - we are so lucky awesome band
Screamfeeder -
Pollyanna - rayke?
Sonic youth - Kim
Knievel -
Superchunk

now it's over to the collective brains trust....

One of my favorites Tina Weymouth, Talking Heads

Girl Monsta from the 90's...Bass player Janine is a friend of mine!

Thanks
Breeders cannonball sexy bass line will be next Fridays starter followed by some talking heads

Don't know why I never got the 'bait - I remember seeing a shesahaguava era gig and thought they were ordinary and i never progressed from that point despite everyone telling me I was missin something

Problem with hawt female bassplayers is they end up with one flat bewb. Seriously - from the gtr strap.

Thinking of local act Snowman.. average band but they had Olga the nerdette bass slinging hawty.

Kim Gordon sonic youth / oh Lordy

Sat next to Kim Gordon once. Backstage on steps watch Beck at Summersault concert. Was a bit crowded and didn't realise who it was in half darkness till I had manoeuvred both cheeks onto step and she had forfeited her comfy spot.

Tal Wilkenfeld - Can actually play the bass (... and she's an Aussie)






Carol Kaye - session bass player all through the 60's and 70's
