Release Notes:
Originally from Searcy, Arkansas, this punk trio moved to
Olympia, WA, joining the roster of the indie rock label K
Records. Guitarist Nathan (aka Brace Paine), drummer
Kathy, and singer Beth proclaimed, "We started a band
'cause we were bored. Our mission is to make you dance,
and if you're not gonna dance, just stay at home and
listen to the oldies station." K released a self-titled 7"
in 1999, and their full-length debut, That's Not What I
Heard, was distributed by Kill Rock Stars in late 2000.
The Gossip were highly visible due to their exposure in
magazines like Out and The Advocate, where they became
icons in the gay and lesbian indie rock community. After
touring with the White Stripes and Sleater-Kinney, they
went back to the studio to record a follow-up, 2002's
Arkansas Heat EP. They returned the following year with
Movement, while Nathan also performed with Die Monitr
Batss.
New drummer Hannah Billie joined the Gossip before they
recorded 2005's Standing in the Way of Control, which
incorporated elements of dance-punk into their raw, urgent
sound. GSSP RMX, which further emphasized their more
danceable direction, was released in 2006. The concert
album Live in Liverpool arrived in the U.K. in late 2007
and was then issued in the U.S. by the band's new label,
the Sony imprint Red Ink, in spring 2008. Rework-It, a
remix compilation, followed that summer, with Music for
Men appearing in 2009.
