Clip Job: Five Second Acts for Riot Grrrl Veterans
Partyline (2005-present): Fascination with the riot grrrl movement burned brightly and briefly, but the members of Bratmobile—which formed in 1991—kept making music, on and off, until 2002. Sort-of based in D.C., Partyline isn’t the first other project for singer Allison Wolfe, but it’s had the most staying power. The band’s name sort of reminds me of that chirpy Doris Day/Rock Hudson movie where they share a phone line, but Partyline’s music—snotty, high-adrenaline, feminist—quickly corrects that association. The trio plays at the Velvet Lounge tomorrow night at 9 p.m. with Edie Sedgwick and Noisy Pig. Tickets are $8.
More riot grrrl second acts after the jump: flowcharts, riots in MTV studios, and Christina Aguilera!

Edie Sedwick on All Our Noise
When Justin Moyer isn’t busy contributing to Washington City Paper he can often be found wearing a dress and singing slightly-bratty post-punk songs under the name Edie Sedgwick. Call it a commentary on the nature of celebrity. Or call it a conscious attempt to transcend the confines of the ordinary. Or, well, just watch this interview that All Our Noise recently taped and hear Moyer/Sedgwick attempt to explain it himself.
Edie Sedgwick will perform with Kid Congo Powers, and Exactly as part of the New York Night Train Happening @ Civilian Arts Project
Saturday, June 27th,
11pm / $10 / 21+
Interview: Edie Sedgwick from All Our Noise on Vimeo.

Wilco DVD Release @ Comet Ping Pong
Music fans and demolition aficionados alike are already well aware of filmmaker Brendan Canty (of Fugazi fame) and Christoph Green’s Burn to Shine DVD series–which generally involves the duo traveling to a city, getting a bunch of bands to perform in a house, then videotaping that house as it’s getting knocked down by city authorities.
However, their latest project, feature-length Wilco concert film Ashes of American Flags,
involves more concert footage and less out-and-out destruction. The film will be screened Saturday night at The Avalon at 7 pm, as part of the DC International Film Festival (There is a second screening on April 25 at 4:30pm), should you want to check it out. If you’d rather enjoy it in the comfort of your own home, there’s a chance that you can just drop by your local independent record store and buy it on DVD as part of Record Store Day.
