I have just found this and about to listen to it. I have never been into a band as much as Throwing Muses, and at the period of first getting into them, I wanted to be a bass player, which never happened, but unsurprisingly my big bass heroine was Leslie Langston. I saw Throwing Muses in a later period, only one time so far sadly, in London, UK, playing at the Virgin Megastore, promoting the University album.

This was great! Tanya has got a talented ability to be able to talk for around 2hrs 20m. I was really into my Big Three bands, Belly, Throwing Muses and The Breeders, also general indie stuff. I saw Belly play in Birmingham, UK, 1995, at The Institute. Well before mobile phones, I had a disposable camera, which you would take the whole thing into a shop to be developed, if Tanya reads this, It was me that turned out to be the only person in the whole audience with a camera! I hope I wasn't breaking a rule, sorry if I was, I was not told otherwise when the bouncers were checking everyone at the entrance. Brilliant show! Thanks. I saw Throwing Muses, but after the Tanya period.

I wonder what year this interview is a from?

Saw them live twice. Love this!

I am utterly in love with this woman

💃🏽👑🍑 got to see her in nyc 💃🏽👑🗽

Beautiful lady.

Finally a true look inside the real Exene, full of a point of view like no other. Fair, blunt, poetic, affectionate & honest, her compelling observations of a forgotten l.a. is fascinating & historically correct. God bless the great Exene Cervenka ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Exene is real. No phony ass liberal posturing that nobody believes in anyway.

Great interview! Saw her in 2004 in Vienna. Always adore her interviews. (Also love how she always credited Courtney. - Eat sh*t, haters.)

I hope they play together again before the end of 2024. I know Louise is playing solo stuff now.

Great interview!

beautiful absolute

Um..as a San Diegan born in Michigan I can say maybe Mexican restaurant are everywhere but visit to Lansing I was asked if I wanted gravy on my carne asada burrito..that was a no..altho I was curious what that meant. I take The Taco Stand down the corner lol😂 she's so great ❤

She changes so much speaking of her childhood vs later life. And remembering abortion being illegal, black people unable to vote that sucks to see it reversed. I'm glad she wasn't limited by men and yes there are laws that make womens lives harder. Right moment right time in history for her and so many great..wouldn't happen now. It's all fake reality TV, designer labels and judging shows. But as a Sociology major, womens studies it took me a long time to accept I actually wasn't 100 % responsible for things in life despite clawing and working 3 jobs w 2 kids alone. Policies do work against women, but she is very cool. I grew up in Texas BTW at time ur taught all is up to you make ur own. Best advise she gives...practice not saying sorry all the time! She's so right on I'm glad she did this and yoing ppl can get the benefit.

I like Shirley's laugh.

This would be so much more interesting to watch if Nardwuar was conducting the interview!

Brenda Lee is the real McCoy, there is no one else who has a voice to even come close to her, she vibrates with enthusiasm, magnesium, joy an zest, for living and singing, what Super Star, she really is, God Bless you.🙏🙏🙏

Can’t mic your subjects halfway decently, for MUSICIANS?!?! Shame on you. This is horrible.

She’s rad. Imma huge fan of everything they did.

She is still looking wonderful!!!

I’ll be honest, her 20s sound way better than mine. My 20s were dog sh*t

Superb interview!! I saw her on The Sherry Show on5/23/24. Beauty, Intelligence, Smarts. This interview shows how she took control of her career; didn’t compromise her integrity; loved that she sued her label to get her royalties; she’s current and knowledgeable about current music; I love her!!!! Thank you !!

Beautiful soul of a woman and a class act.

Odd that there is no mention of L7

Such a great interview. Shirley is such an interesting person. I could listen to her talk for hours.

Have always been a huge fan of Team Dresch. I discovered them in my early 20's living in Fort Collins, CO. As a baby lesbian, I had never been exposed to "queer core" music. Remember who you are will always be one of my fav songs of theirs. I hope to see them live one day!

Absolutely one of the badasses on drums! 100%.

I dated a girl named Zia in 9th grade for like, a couple weeks.

she wont straighten her hair again bc she'd be too powerful

Props to Kira for her bass playing, her gutsiness, and putting up with Henry Rollins.

Who knew Exene was Los Angeles's premier critical thinker..

confrontationalist is definitely a c-word

My first TOILET BOYS show floored me. This skinny drag queen captured a rock goddess ethos like Debbie Harry, Wendy O, and Lita Ford,...and it seemed effortless.

So embarrassing

She's a cracked libertarian. She is incapable of acknowledging or facing the facts of white privilege, systemic racism and bigotry, and the plain facts of American history. It's sad. She spins off into sketchy conspiracy stuff to avoid those issues. It's true for many people, but it's the opposite of the punk spirit, that's for certain. Mohawk hair styles were from Native Americans. Grow up.

1st live gig I ever seen 24 years ago ❤ always and still have the biggest crush on ziam 😊 good times 🕺

Rip, dianne carroll.❤

Thanks!❤ from gay man from oklahoma. Where's the mob, tho, old soul.Lol? Flo ballard rocks!

Saw her on Sherri Shepherd show today 👍🏿Frida Payne is a Beautiful Woman ❤❤❤❤

I was watching the show "The Word" live on the Friday night when she dropped her trousers and continued playing. It was great. The show sucked mostly but had the best bands at that time. Obviously.

I remember going to a Faith no more gig mostly because L7 were the support. Glasgow barrowland 1992. What a gig. I burned out their cassette tape in my first car 🚙 😅 🤘🏼

💗💗💗💗💜💥

Would've been amazing to be there! And...how, wow, that's maybe 10 miles from where I saw them ca. 1995.

Smart Woman!

Absolute LEGEND.

Nickeys voice and piano technique and Alice drumming is incredible!! The were the stars of Fanny!!

Shame that bands like L7 never actually made money. You wouldn't believe how many of these musicians are currently struggling in Los Angeles. The music industry is brutal.

Que bien que habla, se le entiende todo perfecto

She's just cool as heck
