We've heard the Ramones, except, you know, with lady voices.
Pistil is a fun, punk-inspired trio of Megan Dawson, Anne Starling, and Ian the Terrible. They like to call themselves "indie pop punk" but in practice, you'll hear great rock n roll informed by punk and blues. Megan's got a drop dead bluesy voice and a sweet bass, Anne sports a big, sexy, loud guitar, and Ian keeps the beat, with occasional singing and acoustic guitar. Their songs cover heartbreak, love, and politics with a feminist bent. Pistil has a fresh, unique sound that you're sure to get hooked on!
Pistil gave us a great show last night at Nightlight, my favorite of your shows to date! There are 75 or so photos posted from then at http://www.fotki.com/templesofgrey , hot out of the oven.
