These beer, leather jacket, and herb scented candles will transport you back to the punk and metal record store with one whiff, "think hops, with the crisp smell of new leather, with undertones of basil, herbs, and fruits," says Scott Niemet, the candle's mastermind. Trust me, they smell really good, and burn forever - we didn't time them yet, but we burned the prototype in the shop for 8 hrs/day for two weeks at least. We are all very proud of this exciting new venture, and we hope you guys check it out and love it as much as we do! <br />
<br />
Each candle is a hefty 12 oz, made in DIY recycled cans, vegan, soy wax, and only $15! Out of town friends and fans can purchase them online <a href="http://olliver.bigcartel.com/product/dreadful-smells-x-olliver">here</a>, or stop by the shop and check them out today! More sizes coming soon. <br />

little sass with class and a nice ass. Massie was born under the sexy stinging
sign of Scorpio. A rare mix of culturally refined manners and country charm,
Massie will scream lyrics along to Angel of Death in the car while wearing a
fancy dress for an expensive night out! Intelligent, funny and voluptuous, this
vixen will be sure to turn heads when people see her on your arm. Massie's
passions are music, bunnies, beer, Obama, zombies and hating Lars Ulrich for
his crimes against humanity. By day Massie is an Ambassador for the awesome
Dark Horse Brewing Company, and by night she is a stunning, PBR drinking, punk
rock socialite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lucky guy or
gal who wins a date with this lovely specimen of a lady is in for the night of
their lives. A date with Massie will begin with a romantic dinner at a fine
Columbus Dine Original restaurant and end at a hole in the wall bar with a good
juke box, and if you're lucky, a hot make-out session.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the last month Jessie Fifer, Angelique Vierhout, and I (on behalf of Laser and Dreadful Sounds) have been collecting donations for homeless young adults who have aged out of the foster care system and are transitioning into their first apartments, or college, or first jobs, even some with first babies. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pictured above is just an example of one bag out of twelve for six boys and six girls. There is everything from brand new clothes, to bath products, candy, school supplies, baking supplies, coffee mugs, water bottles, make-up, razors, new hats/scarves/gloves for each kid, wallets, bags, gift certificates, a water bottle and coffee mug for everyone, a pair of movie tickets for each kid, YOU NAME IT! Not pictured: dozens of linens, towels, bath mats, and extra clothes, as well as bulky appliances that were given directly to the center for distribution at a later time to new kids.</span></div>

<br />
About seven years ago I met three sisters who were in this band <a href="http://www.purevolume.com/carsondrew" target="_blank">Carson Drew</a>. Since that fateful night at Bernie's they have each become very dear friends of mine. The youngest sister, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lydia-Loveless/141806382514011" target="_blank">Lydia</a>, later became our first intern here at <a href="http://www.dreadfulsounds.com/" target="_blank">Dreadful Sounds</a> before she got, like, famous and blew up. Recently I had time for coffee and a catch up with Lydia while she was on a day off from crisscrossing the nation by van with her husband/bass player, Ben. We hung out, and I emailed her some questions later that night.<br />
<br />
Be sure to catch Lydia at her next Columbus performance on August 2nd at <a href="http://columbuscommons.org/happenings/event-calendar/1343620800" target="_blank">Columbus Commons</a>!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>K. You're finally playing a Columbus show again! What's your favorite thing about Columbus, or what do you miss the most while you're away on tour?<br />
<br />
L. I would say the number one thing I miss is my family and our dogs. Also little things like sleeping in my own bed, showering whenever I want to, and not being around people every night. I'm shy and I don't like to go out all the time, so I get really stressed out from having to socialize constantly on tour. You have to be nice and polite too, or people will remember you as the bitchy singer lady, hahaha. And, my favorite thing about Columbus is probably the main library.<br />
<br />
K. You've been touring non-stop for how long now, like two years? What was the first thing you wanted to do when you came home this week?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
L. The first thing I always want to do is brush my damn teeth. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
K. What has been in the cd player in the van? I know you and Ben have diverse tastes in music. Does that ever become a problem in the van?<br />
<br />
L. It's tough to pick something we both like, but when it's just me and Ben there is a lot of bad hair metal and cheesy 80's music. It's something we've bonded over. We listened to the new Fiona Apple a lot, which Ben was kind enough to put up with. Ben actually has quite a sensitive side, ahhaha. But the one thing I will not tolerate is Joni Mitchell, sorry Ben. <br />
<br />
K. Why no Joni Mitchell? Is it something she said?<br />
<br />
L. I just hate her voice and her songs. I feel like she's a female singer that makes people say, "Oh, I hate female singers."</div>

K. Do you have a favorite venue or city that you've played? Who loves you the most besides Ohio? What about a record shop somewhere else that you love to visit when you're passing through? Tell me about your visit to Stax too, beeotch! So cool! <br />
<br />
L. I love the <a href="http://thecrepeplace.com/" target="_blank">Crepe Place</a> in Santa Cruz CA, and I just really like going there in general. Or anywhere in California really, they love us there. And Seattle. I love <a href="http://www.sundogbooks.com/centralsquare/blog/" target="_blank">Central Square Records</a> in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. They put us up in a beach house when we play there, too, which is awesome!<br />
<div>
Stax was really inspiring and fun, and we don't get to do a lot of stuff like that on tour. People are always telling us to do certain activities on tour and most we don't have time for, but we spent about two hours in Stax reading every plaque and nerding out. Probably the best part was Isaac Hayes' cadillac. We smoked a huge joint and listened to Isaac Hayes later that night.<br />
<br />
K. Um, that's awesome. Please attach a sweet picture of Isaac Hayes' caddy and you.<br />
<br />
L. I wish I had one. It was RIGHT at that part of the museum that we saw the "no cameras" and "don't touch my ride" signs. OK, we're wimps and I should have sat in it.</div>

K. As you know, sitting in a record store all day can get old, and so can touring as a full-time musician, but people who have never had either of these jobs would look at you and say, "fuck you, those are both the best jobs ever." I suspect being a <a href="http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artist/lydia-loveless" target="_blank">Bloodshot</a> recording artist pays slightly better than record store intern though... But yeah, does it ever get old? <br />
<br />
L. Hahahaha. Any job gets old, I guess, but there are times on tour (usually when I am on my period, let's face it) that I wish I had just gone to college and become… something. People get mad at me when I get frustrated, and I really shouldn't complain, but when you're on tour I would say it is 90% work, and the other 10% is for sleeping or trying to stay awake long enough to do something fun. That and you're far from friends, family, and anything familiar. It can be very stressful, and it's not always financially rewarding, but then again, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I know how lucky I am, for sure.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
K. (If you don't mind talking about this...) How has touring with your husband positively or negatively affected your song writing or your relationship?<br />
<br />
L. I wouldn't say marriage has affected my songwriting at all. I do wonder how people can be away from their significant others for months at a time. It's something I witness other people dealing with a lot and it looks frustrating, especially if the person at home is jealous and clingy. In the past I have been in relationships where my going away for the weekend was practically the end of the world. And for some reason the person at home always thinks the risk of cheating is higher for the musician, which is sort of presumptuous isn't it? The thing about marriage (or anyone who takes their relationship seriously and tries to tough it out) is it's difficult sometimes, but you just go in the other room or take a walk and hate the person for a while. You don't just get to drop everything when you're PMSing on tour though. That's what dating is for.<br />
<blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica;" type="cite">

<div>
K. We talked about sexist reviews earlier, and I have also heard you talk about the way you get treated badly in some places as a woman musician. Can you tell me a little more about your experiences with this?<br />
<br />
L. This tour had some particularly bad moments. I think no matter what anyone says we live in a sexist fucking world and there are a lot of men out there who look at women in a truly disturbing way. (Sadly when I talk about this, men act like I am discriminating against them, but, deal with it dudes). There are a lot of nights where I have to just lock myself in the green room or van, or I get into a screaming match with men who are disrespecting me or invading my personal space. </div>
<div>
Being a musician, when someone asks if they can buy me a drink, I assume it's because they liked my set. Then five minutes into the conversation they'll notice my wedding ring and be pissed because they think my vagina is worth a $5 whiskey. I'll play shows where the promoter treats me like shit because I'm a girl with a guitar (particularly in cases where I'm touring just as acoustic guitar and upright bass), and then once they have seen my set, they'll kiss my ass. </div>
<div>
Add the fact that my name is similar to "Linda Lovelace" and it really can get ugly. Sexism is just ingrained into our culture. Even people who are complimenting me don't realize how sexist they are being. "I love you, but I hate women singers." Really? You hate Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Gillian Welch, Etta James, Elizabeth Cook, Aretha Franklin, Johnette Napolitano, Wendy O Williams, but you like me?</div>

Sunday night of Comfest was closed by The Girls! on the Offramp Stage this year, and it was exactly the kind of performance that you always hope you'll catch at Comfest, but rarely ever seem to get to. The band's energy was intoxicating and it pulled people together in just the "everybody hangs out with everybody even if they don't know each other" kind of way that is precisely Comfest. No surprise then that The Girls! performance caught other people's attention too (see <a href="http://www.columbusalive.com/content/blogs/sensory-overload/2012/06/comfest-music-recap.html">Alive's 10 Best Bands from Comfest 2012</a>). Please check out this video so you know what you missed, and you won't make that mistake the next time they play (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/336812556397190/">Columbus Rocks the Cure 2012 at Skully's</a>). Also, I have it on good authority that you can expect a bit of a hiatus after the Skully's show for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegirlsbang">The Girls!</a> for summer vacation. Look for their 7" to be released in the next month or so, and stay tuned for details about the record release party we're cooking up for you guys!K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10139491318445991427noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642500604046644625.post-44239112331525293212012-07-01T23:37:00.001-04:002012-07-01T23:39:51.683-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
