i interviewed heavens to betsy about their unexpected reunion tour & great upcoming archival LP for the guardian ! this was corin tucker’s band before sleater-kinney. we talked about the clarity of youth, transforming through writing, feminist revenge, olympia, and a wild cross-country train trip they took as teenagers to “study” the athens scene. i think the moral of the story is that lying about having a band is a way of manifesting one. heavens to betsy is basically hardcore to me. this was super energizing & meaningful to me to get to work on — some excerpts collected here, the last quote is from the cutting room floor

thank you @modraucous for the 7 & demo !! 🙏

My #1 question when I heard about the reunion was how she could possibly do “Stay Away” without blowing out her voice

I’ve been moving that 7” with me from house to house since the ‘90s. Fond memories of seeing @heavenstobetsy1991 in the back of a tiny coffee house in Columbia, Missouri when they toured with Excuse 17.

Someone was selling a copy of the demo tape on eBay many many years ago. I didn't win it, but I did win a different auction from the seller and they were kind enough to burn those songs on a CD-R for me. I loved Calculated but holy fuck did that demo blow me away. Absolutely life changing stuff. Thank you for telling their story, they deserve the accolades
