Gossip

The tail-end of the 1990s spawned a legion of stripped-down, bass-free indie outfits, with Detroit's White Stripes and the Olympia-based indie trio, the Gossip, at the fore. Inevitably compared to the Detroit duo, in truth, the Gossip displayed greater affinity with the politicised 'riot grrl' movement of the early '90s. Their 2000 debut full-length, THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEARD, twinned raging indie-rock with pro-gay lyrical content and made an underground star of vocalist Beth Ditto. STANDING IN THE WAY OF CONTROL--their third full-length--released in 2006, added some disco heat to the band's punk-soul mix.
