Photos of Paloma McLardy (aka Palmolive), onetime Slits and Raincoats drummer, taken by me in Dennisport, MA one Saturday afternoon in June 1995.

So, the photos above are skipping ahead in time a bit from where we last left off, so I’ll quickly get us up to speed.

Jeremy and I had driven down to Cape Cod to see Palmolive perform with her band, Hi-Fi, one Saturday as part of their weekly church social. She was friendly... very friendly. In fact, she and other members of her church clearly wanted to convert us, which was a bit awkward. But getting to see Palmolive behind the drums—wow! And when they played a Jesus-themed rendition of Slits classic “FM”—double wow!

I knew another fan of female post-punk who would be very interested in learning about Palmolive’s second musical career. I called my friend Mike, who published the zine Caught In Flux. And he almost immediately wanted Palmolive’s contact info so he could set up an interview. I believe I connected him with Jeremy, who helped arrange for the three of us to head to Cape Cod some Saturday in June. This time I’d come prepared with my tape recorder and my camera.

In fact, I used by nascent web development skills back then to create a Palmolive web site containing the interview Mike conducted, my photos and other information. That vintage 1995 site remains up today in more or less the same form.

Paloma was so warm and welcoming, guiding us through pages from her scrapbook, some of which documented her relationship with Clash guitarist Joe Strummer. She also showed an impish sense of humor, posing in the top photo as her younger self captured in a photo by Annette Weatherman that is featured prominently on Paloma’s own web site.

Tomorrow: Interview and photos complete, we head over to The Coffee House to see Palmolive perform with her band.

Photocopy of an item about finding Palmolive that appeared in the “Rockbeat” column, from a page in an August 1995 copy of The Village Voice.

I remember when Mike told me that he’d talked to a writer at The Village Voice about our trip to see Palmolive. Wait, you mean the actual media was interested? After all, the Voice was not just New York’s, but arguably America’s most important “alternative” newspaper at that time.

Alas, the piece that ran got some of the facts wrong (e.g. Jeremy was my friend, not Mike’s, and Jeremy and I actually went to see Palmolive first). And my involvement in the entire endeavor was downgraded to just a “friend” that happened to tag along.

Okay, whatever. It was still kind of cool to see my name in The Village Voice. Little did I know I’d end up working there less than a few years later, no less in a role where I got to call the shots on how we featured music on our web site.

Girls To The Front !

Par Elsa Kuhn

https://www.mixcloud.com/section_26/i-like-2-stay-home-4-girls-to-the-front/

« Ok, all the girls to the front ! » s’exclama un soir de concert Kathleen Hannah de Bikini Kill en réaction aux pogos en majorité masculin reléguant son public féminin au fond de la salle.  Je me suis inspirée de ce slogan pour sélectionner des chansons écrits et/ou interprétées par des femmes. Une mixtape de titres pas forcément féministe, mais où les filles sont à l’honneur.
