GIRL GROUPS GALORE ON LITTLE STEVEN VAN ZANDT’S ‘COOLEST SONGS IN THE WORLD! VOLUME 5’
(OUT 5/27, WICKED COOL)
Run for your lives! It’s Volume 5 of ‘Little Steven’s Underground Garage Presents The Coolest Songs In The World!’ (Wicked Cool, May 27th) as Little Steven spotlights the women of Garage Rock (The Dollyrots, The Pipettes, The Launderettes, and Hell on Heels). Also included are gems from Cheap Trick, The Raconteurs, and Sweden’s Hellacopters.
Little Steven says, “The difference between Contemporary Garage Rock and Rock in the past is, once upon a time, girl Rock musicians were either freaks to be tolerated or looked at as gimmicks. Garage rockers today expect to see female musicians and accept and embrace Girl Groups as equals.”
