FUN STORY TIME, KIDS. GATHER ‘ROUND.

Last Saturday while at the salon, I was checking my phone for new messages. Much to my satisfaction, Laura had sent me a few pictures to use in honor of this week’s festivities. This is the picture she originally wanted to be submitted with her interview, but I think it deserves its very own post.

In Laura’s own words:

“The one of me and Stevie is from SXSW at the weird club we played. I thought the title for the ladies room was a bit ridiculous and offensive so I had someone take a pic of the two dirtiest bitches in front of it. LOL”

The only unfortunate thing is that I started howling laughing while the stylist was putting the dye in my hair. Everyone probably thought there was something wrong with me (wait, there isn’t?). Either way, this photo is just badass. Laura and Stevie know how to represent…haha!!!

Name: STEVIE FLOYD

Bands You’ve Played In:

I play guitar and shriek in Dark Castle. I also played guitar in Cystic Dysentery prior to Dark Castle…and many other bands when I was younger.

What are your favorite songs to perform live?

Surrender To All Life Beyond Form, Heavy Eyes, Awake In Sleep, Into The Past

Did you have any female rock idols growing up? Who were they?

Stevie Nicks, Lita Ford, The Great Kat, Nancy Wilson of Heart, Sean Yseult of White Zombie, The Wives

Your advice to girls who want to start their own metal bands is…

Do it!…And do it right… Play down the “chick in a metal band” stereo type, and play the hell out of your instrument instead. At the end of the day it will give you more of a thrill and more fulfillment than any human or other thing on Earth.

I love metal women with their own style. I especially love how Stevie Floyd wears those fringey Pocahontas looking boots! I’ve always thought that they looked bad, unless you’re Pocahontas of course, but wowowowow after watching her in countless different pairs I really want some now.

Stevie Floyd appreciation blog*~

I’ve heard some people call Stevie their “fashion icon”. She’d LOL at that pretty hard :P
