X-Chromosome Ep 8: Modern Chix Take 2

You know who can make a goddamn racket? Women, that’s who. With their guitars and their drums and their basses and their keyboards. Frick. The only thing we at Le Balcony could think of doing is giving them their own show. Feminism, man . . . In episode 8 of X Chromosome we sit at […]

Annie Is Busy Now

X Chromosome Ep 7 (Contemporary Ladies)

We at The Balcony have been accused of being belligerent fogeys . . . always playin’ that long haired dude rock from the 70s. Well, maybe that’s right. Sorry. Can we make it up to ya? How about we spend two hours playing nothing but awesome ladies who are on college radio now? Would that […]

In this installment we prove that women can be just as loud and rude and obnoxious as any dude and play a couple […]

Sleater-Kinney Goddamn It.

X Chromosome Ep 2

Woman . . . the fairer sex, the giver of kind assurance, the loving breath, the punch in the face, the kick in the head. Rock and roll is not a man’s game, and we give you two hours of women on the mic, strangling the strings, hitting the drums too hard . . . […]

X Chromosome Ep 1
