Welcome to a brand new weekly feature on the Women On Women Music blog - Witty Woman: Quote of the Week! Mondays are hard. Who couldn't use a little inspiration to start the week off, right? Here's our first edition -

Always a favorite of the ladies of WOW, Peaches is the kind of girl who says - nay, screams - what we're all secretly thinking. Looking for some of the harshest lyrics written by a woman in the last ten years? That's Peaches. Looking for an INSANE live show that will leave your head spinning? That's Peaches. Looking for a good time November 20 in Chicago? Peaches plays Metro. Here's a little taste - the video for "Talk to Me", her single off the latest album, I Feel Cream.
Just a reminder that TODAY is the last day to donate to the Kickstarter campaign of the Chicago Independent Radio Project. As we mentioned before, there's lots of fantastic prizes to be had for donors, including a special women themed mix CD by yours truly! Head on over to the Kickstarter campaign page and pledge now - every dollar CHIRP raises today is a dollar they don't have to raise later on this year!
We are the ladies of the Women on Women Music Program, formerly a weekly radio show on WLUW in Chicago and now a blog. The radio program showcased the best of women in all genres of music, "putting the broad back in broadcasting" since its inception in 2001, and we strive to continue that ethic with our blog. We feel that women as a whole are underrepresented in the traditionally male-dominated music industry, and take pride in focusing on female musicians you might not hear elsewhere on the dial or on the web. WOW also brings you feminist news and politics, information about local shows and events, and of course, fabulously witty commentary on whatever else happens to tickle our fancy.
