Calamity Jane - Martha Jane Canary (1992)

1992 was considered by many to be the pinnacle of the Riot Grrl movement which included bands such as Hole, Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland, Slant 6, Huggy Bear, Fifth Column, and many others. One of the "many others" was the band Calamity Jane. Although they only released one LP and appeared on a handful of compilations (such as the phenomenal "Stars Kill Rock" in 1993) they had far reaching influence on the music community. One interesting story involving this band occurred on October 30, 1992 when they opened for Nirvana in Argentina and survived a macho, disrespectful crowd. This is their only LP. Enjoy this recording, turn down the treble a bit, and try to keep the revolution civil!
