	Lois Maffeo & Brendan Canty: The Union Themes ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Lois Maffeo's early records were stripped-down affairs; all you got were a voice, an acoustic guitar, and some brushes on a snare drum.
		Maffeo turns in her most nuanced singing to date; like Astrud Gilberto, she gets plenty of atmosphere and emotion by exploiting the full resources of a narrow vocal range.
		Maffeo's observations and first-person narratives explore matrimony's wages of bliss and anguish are carefully drawn; she hasn't abandoned the economy of her earlier work, just taken the time to polish it up a bit.

	The History of Rock Music. Lois Maffeo: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Maffeo ha collaborato con il batterista dei Fugazi Brendan Canty a The Union Themes (Kill Rock Stars, 2000), un'eclettica raccolta che pone in evidenza gli impegnativi ipertoni della sua arte più matura sulle tradizionali inadeguate canzoni agrodolci di stampo più punk.
		Maffeo is joined by Fugazi's drummer Brendan Canty on The Union Themes (Kill Rock Stars, 2000), an eclectic collection that highlights the serious overtones of her most adult art over the traditional bittersweet understatements of her punkier songs.
		Maffeo is a unique hybrid of Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Tin Pan Alley, Nashville and the Delta.

	Lois Maffeo ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Lois Maffeo's music may not sound terribly punk; she sings about romance, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and one or two other players.
		Lois disappeared from the stage and her name began to reappear on the page, but she never abandoned music.
		Lois -Due to the fact that Brendan and his wife just had their second child, there was never any possibility of he and I touring together.

	Lois (Maffeo): Aversion.com Interview
		Maffeo has been known in indie circles for a long time because of her matchless ability to steep matter-of-fact lyrics in from-the-heart emotion.
		It wouldn’t be long before Maffeo’s knack for anthologizing herself and hanging up her life’s dirty laundry in song would earn her a position as one of indie rock’s most respected singer/songwriters.
		Maffeo traces her lyrical development to the time spent sharpening her writing skills as a music journalist during her four-year hiatus from music.

		Lois: I think the spirit of the time I wrote it was a lot of young women in D.C. and Olympia were starting to become more aware of the political aspect of their social lives, what they wore, how they talked.
		Lois: Living in Olympia in the early '80s, there was a magazine here which later became Option, and Bruce Pavitt was doing the Sub Pop fanzine and tapes and Calvin was just beginning to put out cassettes on the newly formed K label.
		Lois: I kind of figure there are rewards from performing and there are rewards from being involved in music and selling records and stuff but I get really jazzed if someone is inspired to play or is just inspired to not be afraid to do something they want to do.

	Lois Maffeo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lois Maffeo (professionally known as Lois) is an American musician and writer who lives in Olympia, Washington.
		Maffeo, a third-generation Arizonan, graduated from Xavier School for Girls, a Catholic girls’ high school in Phoenix.
		According to Pitchfork Media, Maffeo was an early acolyte of the indie pop movement, as women musicians traded tapes and created their own pop-oriented music culture, instead of blending in with boys in the punk or cock rock genres.

	Bricolage Fantasy » Lois Maffeo
		Nicked ‘The Grandmother of riot-grrrls’, much to her dismay, Lois Maffeo is a witness and an active player in the Olympia early 90’s scene that gives birth to Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Bangs, Sleather-Kinney along with such name as K-Records and Kill Rock Star.
		Lois: No. In fact, that was the last thing I recorded and it came out last November and I just recorded a new album that’s going to come out in January and so I’m kind of between things right now.
		Lois: I think just when you think a label is going to be the same forever, they kind of throw a curveball.

		In addition to her numerous releases on K, including four full-length albums, Lois is involved in various other side projects and collaborations as well.
		Lois is supportive of the Temple of Sting ideal, the idea that new music must be continually made and sought out by people.
		Lois' trademark sound is distinguished by her acoustic guitar and vocals, sparsely arranged with minimal drums and other instruments.

		Lois Maffeo, also known just as Lois, has been releasing excellent indie-folk for the past ten years on Olympia, WA's K Records.
		Maffeo as the arrangements were quite full and production decidedly "slick." On this, her Kill Rock Stars debut, she (along with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty) proves that "Infinity's" promise was just that--promise for more and better things to come.
		Maffeo's career to date, which is something considering that her "Strumpet" LP is on my short-list of best albums from K Records.

		Lois Maffeo outgrows both flavors of arrogance on The Union Themes.
		Sticking to the folkie-grrrl stylings found on her K Records albums, released simply under the name Lois, Maffeo's partnership with Canty finds the songwriter's fare finding broader themes as well as new wrinkles, giving her acoustic strumming and smoky voice their most impact to date.
		Tossing in fragments of everything from electric guitar to mellotron, his flair for accenting Maffeo's arrangements, as well as his ability not to lose the more subtle aspects of her guitar work in the mix, provides a hard-edged contrast to Maffeo's more elemental songwriting.

	angels twenty » Lois Maffeo and Brendan Canty - How I Came To Know
		As one of K Records’; bedroom-pop mainstays throughout much of the 90s, Lois Maffeo earned herself quite the reputation in the Pacific Northwest for her brand of lo-fi, low key indie pop.
		Some of Maffeo’s collaborators have seen far more exposure than her, though; longtime musical partner Brendan Canty is Fugazi’s drummer, and she shares both a spiritual link and a duet with the late Elliott Smith.
		The end result is best described as Lois Maffeo’s adult album: the songwriting’s even better, and everything from the arrangements to the production values lends a sense of maturity to the proceedings.

	Lois delivers another gem of insightful pop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-12)
		Lois is able to deliver a chorus like, "Always blue/Always say/What's the use anyway?" with poise and a solid melody line, without lapsing into silly cuteness or whining.
		Maffeo, Canty, and Dunn work particularly well together on the up-tempo "Flamer," with more of Maffeo's incisive singing, an occasional discordant harmonica blister from Canty, and Dunn's quick, clean drumming skating and skittering along.
		In "The Western," a wry tribute to the movie genre of the same name, Lois sings, "Upbeat endings/I've seen 'em all/Passionately impossible." Her bittersweet voice is almost enough to help you forget the irony.

	Lois Maffeo Interview
		Witness to and participant in the birth of Riot-Grrl and Love-Rock, Lois Maffeo is both a consummate songwriter and a vital cultural figure.
		LOIS MAFFEO: One big change that occurred in my life between my last album "Infinity Plus" and the new one is that I became a full-time writer.
		So it really only felt right to say that the album was by Lois Maffeo and Brendan Canty, because that was the most accurate way to describe it.

		Lois refers to herself as one of the "wimp rock" performers from the usually noisy Pacific Northwest and Kill Rock Stars label.
		Longtime Lois producer, Brendan Canty, left his trademark ship's bell from Fugazi's drum kit behind to augment her acoustic sound and crystal voice with piano, bass and electric guitars and simple brush work on the skins.
		Love may be blind, but no one is pulling the wool over the eyes of the narrator in "Being Blind." "Oh lover can't you see/What's that expression?/Better her than me," Lois sings.

	Lois interview (Net #17)
		Lois has made three solo alburns and myriad singles that offer their own take on time-honored subjects such as love, betrayal and motivation.
		A native of Phoenix, AZ, Lois first moved to Olympia attend college at Evergreen State University -- much to the chagrin of her Catholic-school teachers, who warned her she'd be "wasting her life" by choosing that particular institution.
		What's funny is that the songs I wmte were really Loisy and the ones she wrote were really Spinanesy." Lois also wrote for Puncture magarnie during this period and appeared on a cassetre by the now-legendary Go Team, a K Records supergroup of sorts helmed by CaIvin Johnson.

	Courtney Love interview, Writer's Block #7
		Courtney Love is Lois Maffeo, who sings and plays guitar, and Pat Maley on drums.
		Lois has a remarkably pure voice that seems to float over her rudimentary acoustic guitar chords and the simple drumming, and her songs are about things like motorcycle boyfriends, sunny days, Goofus and Gallant-type relationships, Bridget Fonda, and falling in love.
		Live, Courtney Love covers Beat Happening's "Don’t Mix the Colors," and Lois is a chatty, relaxed front person despite her admitted shyness when it comes to singing live.

		Lois Maffeo & Brendan Canty - The Union Themes
		Produced and performed on by Brendan Canty and written and sung entirely by Lois Maffeo, The Union Themes is a simple, breathy collection of love songs.
		A collaboration between the indie folk chanteuse and Fugazi's drummer may be a pretty improbable pairing, but Maffeo's songs benefit so much from Canty's electric guitar lines and calm but purposeful percussion that it leaves some of her previous records sounding unrealized and half-baked.

	Lois : Strumpet - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Just as Lois has divided much of her time between Olympia, WA, and Washington D.C., the spare folk-pop on this 1993 release fits neatly between the '90s music of Northwest bands like the Spinanes (Rebecca Gates is a former collaborator) and Northeast bands like Jenny Toomey's Tsunami.
		Lois' commitment to the DYI aesthetic is another connection she shares with the two camps.

		She does the best live shows ever, and the new album is my favorite yet.

		Lois' fourth album and last for the K imprint, Infinity Plus was one of three (including Snapshot Radio and the Ship to Shore EP with Dub Narcotic Sound System) in a flurry of Lois material released in the fall of 1996.
		It follows in the singer's humble tradition of spare, acoustic indie pop, performed with gaunt instrumentation and recorded in a stark, bare-bulb, four-track style.
		So, with a simple enough idea as the impetus and a bevy of famous friends at her side, Lois sojourns to recording studios in Olympia, Chicago, and Brooklyn to lay … Read More »

		A native of Phoenix, AZ, Maffeo began attending Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA in 1981, initially becoming a fixture of the city's thriving music scene as a result of her grrrl-centric radio show Your Dream Girl on local station KAOS.
		Maffeo then relocated to Washington, D.C., where she began playing simply as Lois or sometimes even "the Lois" -- in short, a band made up of herself and whatever backing musicians were available.
