With all this talk about the new Runaways movie starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, I started thinking about women who rock. One of the first names to come to mind is the strangest: Siouxsie Sioux. She's been brandishing her own style of in-your-face-rock since the 70s, and everyone from The Cure, to PJ Harvey and Radiohead have sited her band Siouxise and the Banshees as an influence. So what's all the fuss about? Check out a video of their first single, the 1978 classic "Hong Kong Garden." There's nothing like some good ole rock 'n roll to smother the winter blues...
Laura E. Marcus was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, leaving her beloved city for a Midwestern education in 2001. In 2006 she moved to New York City, putting pen to paper at various publications throughout the city. Her writing has been featured in TRACE, SPIN, Gotham, Los Angeles Confidential, Sur La Terre, Heeb and VenusZine. She lives on a quiet block in the East Village with her two cats Monsieur Petit Cochon and Mr. Littlejeans, but swears she's not a crazy cat lady.
