SHELBY COBRAS KNOWS HIS CHICK METAL

As we’ve said from day one….we’re not know-it-alls when it comes to this metal biznass. I couldn’t tell you who the drummer was of this band during that album in 1976, but I could definitely tell you what happened on ICarly last week! Bottom line…there are way too many bands to listen to and I only have so much time check things out. Because unlike some of you schmucks….I have a job. But I’m always amazed when talking music with people how much stuff some folks have NEVER heard of, or how much I, myself, have missed out on over the years. 

That said, I love someone who can totally school me. Do you guys read Illogical Contraption? It’s pretty rad. Shelby Cobras is a hoot and he knows his stuff. Yesterday he did a post on his take on the never-ending saga that is WOMEN IN METAL. Like me, homeboy is not down with stuff like Lacuna Coil and Bleeding Through and all that other bullcrap. So he gives a pretty epic list of vag bands that he DOES like. I don’t know a good chunk of these…so I guess I better do my homework.

Shelby’s taste seems above my head for the most part, but it looks like we share one common love…MELT-BANANA! YAY. Maybe Shelby can help me track down an awesome Melt-Banana t-shirt, as my recent searches have been unsuccessful.

Who’s YOUR favorite chick band?
