Evil Stig
I’m going this afternoon up to Orlando to see Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Most bands don’t come to Miami. We only get DJs and tribute bands. Once in awhile someone will come to the Hard Rock in Ft. Lauderdale. C'est la vie, I guess.Anyway, I posted some Joan Jett a couple of months ago, but I still wanted to share something relative. I’ve tried this week to post some more or less obscure stuff and some things you hopefully don’t hear every day. So, to neatly tie that together with Joan Jett, today I’ve got Evil Stig.

Joan ended up agreeing to perform live with the surviving members of The Gits and they scheduled a US tour. On the coasts, the shows did very well, but middle America didn’t seem to get it. There was also a feeling that the record company (Warner Brothers) didn’t really offer the support it could have. Ultimately the collaboration ended, but not before several shows were recorded and released in 1995 to benefit the investigation.

Following Mia’s murder, a number of artists and musicians in Seattle began to meet and discuss the problems of violence in the community and the lack of available assistance. The founders of the organization pooled resources from arts and music benefits in order to raise funds and study self-defense. The group, Home Alive , remains active in the Seattle area.
The Gits’ Web site also offers more information about Mezquia’s trial, as well as information on The Gits movie.
