THE HISSYFITS - an interview with Princess

THEIR CAREER

Princess of The HissyfitsWe've been playing out together now for about 3 years in New York City and various places around the country. We just got back from the NXNW Music Fest in Portland and we'll be playing Philly and Ohio in the next few weeks. We hope to make it to Europe someday. We've got songs on various compilations and have two EPs out--"All Dolled Up" on Mutant Pop (U.S.) and "Wish You Were Here" on Sounds of Subterrania (Europe, Australia, Japan). Orchard Records has just released our CD "Wish", which is a compilation of all of our previously released songs, but we're anxious to record a full-length album in the near future.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THEM

Wow--there's so many. A lot of great people at Remedial Records, Mutant Pop, Sounds of Subterrania, Gig Records, The Orchard, Jonathan Greenfield and Ronnie Spector, and Greil Marcus at Interview Magazine. We also have a lot of friends like Chuck Scott, John Parthum, Adam Raybuck, Meredith Ekstedt, Will Taylor, Karl LaRocca, Steven Parrino, and Pierre Jelenc who have donated their time and efforts to help us greatly. We're also grateful to the DJs who play our records, the people who give us great reviews, and the magazines and websites who have featured us. And we can't forget all the great people who come out to see us play and buy our records!

ABOUT MP3

We think they are a good way to expose ourselves to listeners, but we are not ready for them to replace the good old record! We also have to take into consideration the small percentage of music consumers who listen to music this way. Check out Hissyfit MP3 files at http://www.hissyfits.com

ABOUT RECORD LABELS

We have records out on Mutant Pop, Sounds of Subterrania and Orchard Records

GIRL STUFF

We've got kind of a glam-punk look going on, like black leather and glitter, kind of like our music, combining hard and soft things at the same time. We love to go all out for a show--if I could, I would dress like KISS every day! There's 3 of us, so we all have different interests and hobbies. Fon-Lin, our bassist, is really into art; P-Girl, our drummer is studying Anthropology with an emphasis on Women's Issues; I'm really into the music and taking care of business in the hopes that someday we will be able to tour around the world!
