Lois Maffeo & Brendan Canty - The Union Themes
Lois - Snapshot Radio

Singer/songwriter Lois Maffeo long reigned as one of the most respected voices in American indie-pop -- a key proponent of the Pacific Northwest's love-rock scene, her spare, lo-fi sound and steadfast adherence to underground ethos blazed a trail for the countless female acts to emerge in her wake. A native of Phoenix, AZ, Maffeo began attending Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA in 1981, initially becoming a fixture of the city's thriving music scene as a result of her grrrl-centric radio show Your Dream Girl on local station KAOS. After picking up the guitar, in 1987 she formed the short-lived Cradle Robbers with future Spinane Rebecca Gates before joining drummer Pat Maley in the duo Courtney Love, issuing three acclaimed singles before disbanding.

Lois Maffeo & Brendan Canty (of Fugazi) - The Union Themes
The Union Themes sets out to explore the undefined terrain of relationships. LOIS MAFFEO and longtime friend BRENDAN CANTY (FUGAZI) have drawn upon a number of musical idioms to illustrate The Union Themes with undercurrents of folk, soul and girl group pop.

These are all independent female artists who have inspired me or whom I've inspired. Many of us have shared stages, BBQs and glitter.
