I CAN'T BELIEVE WE INTERVIEWED GRASS WIDOW

By ERICA BRAINERD

Do you know who my favorite ladyband is? All right, it’s the Runaways. But do you know who my favorite ladyband from the last tennish years is? It’s Grass Widow! The first time I heard them on a Yeti sampler I was like, “Wow, when did the Vivian Girls stop boring me to tears?” Then I realized I’d lost the magazine with the tracklisting and could only refer to them as Vivian Girls Who Aren’t Boring, but then they had a really boring interview in MRR (interviewer’s fault) and the name finally clicked and a love affair was born anew. I even stuck it out after discovering that they weren’t singing “He’s got a tumor” in this song, though it was understandably an emotional struggle. Anyways, you can guess the surprisyness of my delight when I found out that someone in England had not only interviewed these feisty ’Franciscans for Vice, but did an excellent job involving sample tracks and plenty of pictures. Good work, team!
