Cath-, 2013.
My friend Catherine and I were two weeks away from meeting up for the first time in six years. For a good nine months, conversations escalated. The more we spoke, the more time we needed to answer each other back. She was interested in my progress from a personal collapse, and I was interested in her health. We had a lot of parallels and things in common. Since we had our own personal setbacks and what-if scenarios, there was a lot of potential of what could and should have happened. The euphoria to meet up, pick up right where we left off, and arrive at a vital turning point in our lives was real.
Right before we met in April three years ago, she had given me several vital updates about herself. The good news was that she re-upped on graphic design courses at community college. Her discovery of David Carson took me by surprise as I was a huge fan of Raygun Magazine. I became the reason she took to blogging, and she started illustrating for personal projects. The bad news was that she was arrested for using in a coffee house parking lot. Relations with her family were very contentious, and her blog entries detailed scheming, past troubles, and sexually-explicit acts in shocking and heart-jumping detail. The balance of good and bad is always the Libra.
The more time passed, the more anticipated our next answers would be. It was sophisticated conversation, a true rarity in my world. That was what had us trading ten-page replies. What we also traded were music recommendations. We had done this before over ice cream when we first met during the last decade, and we were going to do it again. Thanks to her dealer circle, she discovered KMFDM and Skinny Puppy, so I gave her a plentiful amount of both, then congratulated her for now becoming an industrialist. She then send me her recommendations: Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear, Babes In Toyland, Heavens To Betsy, and Bratmobile.
It was expected and I was not surprised. She had a rough social life in high-school and wasn’t taught proper survival, self-esteem, or coping skills. Moreso, she had a lot of bad instances with the wrong men she had met in her life, most using and abusing her. So Catherine took to getting new skin. She definitely had her reasons. She needed some ammunition and reinforcements in Kill Rock Stars and Lookout! as the obvious de facto choices in female teeth. The music was not only a small sieve in what Catherine was about, but also part of the Omega spring shows simply because they were damn good.
These are just the few cuts I found through Catherine that would later become part of our radio show. They also are a red stamp of the era of conversations, issues, and soul we had, and more, for the rest of that spring; things still so unreal after the fact that it still resonates with me.

While I was primarily more of a hardcore punk/Thrash kid at the time, I dug many bands that orbited the “grunge” label and many of those bands were either female fronted or were composed entirely of women. I saw L7 play countless times and they always brought 100% to their performances. I saw Hole, Heavens to Besty, Babes in Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, and on and on and on (not to mention other bands mentioned in this piece, associated more with the riot grrrl scene like Bratmobile, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, etc.).
I’m glad to see that the history behind “grunge” is being corrected and that the women involved in the scene, once marginalized, are being given proper credit for their part in crafting and shaping that scene and it’s subsequent influence on musicians. Of course, the problems of sexism and misogyny persist (hello the overturning of Roe) and the contributions of women to the fields of art, science, and the like continue to be downplayed, the gradual process of corrections like this are welcomed as they give a more accurate portrayal of history as it actually happened.
A friend, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, found an anthem in Scrawl’s ‘Your Mother Wants To Know’. I’m not sure anyone I know found equally meaningful sentiment in Nirvana or Soundgarden or Pearl Jam (although I dug Nirvana and Soundgarden FYI and just revisited badmotorfinger, a record I haven’t listened to since it came out in 1991. It’s good.)
Ps.
As a quick aside, I forged a long relationship with the Kill Rock Stars label which carried some of the weight of the Seattle scene. While I was there for the release of Pottymouth and the first Bikini Kill EP, I stuck around for bands like Born Against and Universal Order of Armageddon (just to name two). I also dug many of their compilation albums. I still remember digging the Turbo Tune’s sampler and getting into Two Ton Boa’s song ‘Bleeding Heart’ (which still rocks y’all).
