ICE CUBE: Stinking Liz needs a Kickstart

Learning is fundamental — not just to the student but to the teacher. Take Rashida Holmes. One of the principle spinners for Philly’s Girls’ DJ crew participated in the Ladies’ Rock Camp weekend in February 2011 where she got smitten by a live drum kit sitting in a corner. Fast forward a month or two and Holmes is taking drum lessons with Cheshire Agusta, drummer with West Philly’s one-and-only Stinking Lizaveta. During one of their sessions, Holmes and Agusta discussed the idea that Lizaveta, in readying its next album, wanted to record in Chicago again. The Liz’s history has found the metal bangers in the studio with Steve Albini at his Chicago Electrical studio — this time the lucky producer would be Sanford Parker at Volume Studios in Chicago. So they’re looking to hit the Kickstarter route and enlist its audience and friends in getting them to the Windy City. While I don’t always get mushy about Kickstarter campaigns, this one that involves a Philly recording legend, another blue collar town and some potentially great noise for what should be Stink Liz’s seventh album. I’m in. Hit it.
