We like women. Not in a creepy way (usually)…we mean we really like music created by women. So, in our ongoing series of episodes celebrating women in alternative music, this week we are covering our top 5 women-led albums of the 1990s. Appropriately enough, our Third Lads this week are a dynamic duo who “lived through this” and are inspired by this music – Julie Exter and Andrea Tarka White from Philly-based rock band Gun-Shy Butterfly! They currently have four singles that exemplify what the band has dubbed “bubble grunge” – a combination of sugary melodies and crunchy hooks that would have been right at home on mid-90s alternative radio. We hit it off right away with Andrea & Julie…we love ’em and we know you will too! But wait…there’s also discussions about: tattoos, Higglytown Heroes, Nairing…uh…various areas, Goldschlager and comics, flip-flops (yes, again), our new grunge band Grotesque Quiche, hologram Jewel, hosers, Easttown accents, Julie’s music/comedy podcast Rock’n’LOL, and much more. Oh, and guess what? A brand new O3L game called “Riot Grrrl Riot” – in which our contestants (and host) receive their very own riot grrrl names. As Kim deal would say to Gregg, “ugh!” Songs: Gun-Shy Butterfly – “Dark Side” Gun-Shy Butterfly – “Manchild”
