C'Mon, Girl. Growl Like You'd Rather Be On A Bike

Occasionally, I'll get the heavy metal itch again--most recently scratched in 2005--and check the Craig's List postings for keywords like "grindcore" or "hardcore" to see if there are any other old bastards out there looking to recreate something that had its heyday between 1981 and, say, maybe 1994? Here's an intriguing ad I came across recently:

Hey y'all. I am a female vocalist-I have never been in a band before but I am pretty sure I can scream and growl real well. I'm looking to start a band - preferably with more female members. The lyrics would definitely be coming from a pro-fat, pro-sex, pro-queer, pro-bicycle, feminist, anticonsumer culture, situationist prospective. Any takers??

What I'm reading here, between the lines of "pro-fat," "pro-bicycle" and "anti-consumer culture," is one hell of a hunter-gatherer with a very sturdy bicycle and loud amplifiers built entirely out of organic dung and dumpstered wire. Maybe I can swing with this. (I got to admit, she's got impeccable taste in crusty-grindy stuff.) You know, from a situationist perspective.
