Standing in the way of Control
The Gossip is my favorite new discovery.
I saw their video for "Standing in the Way of Control"
on Logo's NewNowNext and instantly fell in love.
The Gossip is made up of guitarist Brace, vocalist Beth,
and drummer Hannah (left to right above).
They are all gay, and Brace and Beth are from rural Arkansas
while Hannah hails from Washington.
Their sound is punk with a dance beat,
and Beth has this huge dance diva voice.
I saw them interviewed on Logo last night,
and they totes referenced "Female Trouble"
(only one of the GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME).
Check out the CD on iTunes.
It's pretty much fantastic from start to finish.
Must Downloads:
"Standing in the Way of Control"
"Coal to Diamonds"
"Keeping You Alive"
ps... if you like the video for "SITWOC",
then check out this ridiculous live performance.

ok, there's the thing. i, too, love the gossip. but we have to keep them a SECRET or else they'll be taken over by all the hipsters and they'll turn into The Strokes, pt. 2. meaning that they'll go from a hott-ass punk band to making records for teenage girls in iowa. and we don't want that, do we?
