When in Seattle ... well, when in Seattle you join a band! My band - The Control Tops - has been together for about 3 years now. I'm on bass. It's cathartic, and a ton of fun. We describe ourselves as a mostly female, punk-pop band with a penchant for mid-week dive bar gigs and telling it like it is. We have a few covers (Elastica & The Damned for example) but mostly we write originals about the men who cause us trouble, the politics that keep us up at night, the lies we tell ourselves, getting our hopes up, and the lame ass boys we've dated. That kinda thing.
