How did I miss these ladies for so long?   Lori was/is a staple in the Minneapolis scene, and has been for as long as I can remember.  I remember her tending bar at the Uptown in her pre-Babes days….she was everywhere though.  In the 90’s it was tough to go somewhere in Minneapolis, and not see her.

Although they got swept up in the grunge scene, and eventually signed to Warner Bros. (much like the Huskers did years earlier), I don’t think anyone would have ever hung the “sell out” label on them.   Catchy as hell angry chick rock.  Right on.
