FMD: Sisters
Since last Saturday's show, I've pretty much been listening to Lydia Loveless and The Girls! (which is Lydia's littler big* sister's band, who opened). It almost sounds like Lydia singing a different style of music, but the vox are quite similar, and I could even imagine these as ghost-written by Lydia. Talented family. I wonder if their dad ever was the Girls!' drummer.
