  Babes in Toyland (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babes in Toyland were an all-women band formed in Minneapolis in 1988.
The band achieved notoriety through Bjelland's "baby doll" image--sometimes referred to as the kinderwhore look--which contrasted dramatically with the raw power of her singing voice and her aggressive lyrics.
Babes were featured on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, and were referenced in an episode of the sitcom Roseanne.

He follows the band as it appears variously to be on the cusp of either superstardom or disollution in the volatile world of the rock 'n' roll industry, chronicled here at both its most sordid and most exhilarating moments.
Babes in Toyland is a female grunge-rock trio who, while struggling for steady work on the Minneapolis bar circuit, were signed by Warner Records and suddenly thrust into national renown.

Babes in Toyland: Kat Bjelland, Maureen Herman, and Lori Barbero.....ahh.
For those of you who are not familiar with the music, Babes in Toyland is a chick band that is anything BUT a "chick band." They're a hardcore trio of riot, the wonderful harmony of anarchy, the epitome of grrl.
Their music ranges from soft to screamy, as most girl bands in this genre do, but Babes in Toyland do it with such flair that it all flows in one direction.

BABES IN TOYLAND formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1988, when Lori Barbero met Kat Bjelland at a BBQ.
Originally four-piece, the band developed into the honed-down trio of Lori (long-time Minneapolis scenester) on drums, Kat (a transplant from Oregon via San Francisco, who moved to Minneapolis specifically to form a band) on vocals and guitar, and Michelle Leon on bass.
Early in 1992, Michelle Leon amicably left the band and was replaced by Maureen Herman (an old friend and long-time fan of the BABES').

The Further Adventures of Babes in Toyland is a collection of early singles, B-sides and live tracks from Lollapalooza.
More so than the Riot Grrrl bands who were, roughly speaking, their contemporaries, the Babes flew in the face of the male rock establishment, though not so much because of their feminist tirades or idiot savant approach to music-making.
Babes in Toyland were an enormously powerful live band; the unannounced show they played at CBGBs in 1992 is one of my most crystalline concert memories.

One of the pioneering groups of the "riot grrrl" movement (Courtney Love started out in an early version of the band), Babes was founded by guitarist/singer/songwriter Kat Bjeland, who had moved out to the Twin Cities from the Pacific Northwest, and drummer Lori Barbero.
Maureen Herman, who has since left the group, was the bassist at the time of filming, and her solid sound held the middle together.
After some ten years, Babes in Toyland is still among the most uncompromising and dynamic of the riot grrrl bands.

This was probably the best song off of The Babes in Toyland's album, "Nemesisters", but too bad they didn't write it themselves.
It kind of gives you that feeling that The Babes are like a family, that they are like sisters and that they care about each other.
I advise you to purchase the single of this song, rather than buying the whole "Nemesisters" album, because like many of the Babes songs, they are uninspiring and trite.
