Hazard County Girls Never No More Kurt, the ghost of rock ‘n’ roll past, comes over to my house and asks, “What do you miss about rock ‘n’ roll?” I replied, “Courtney Love before Celebrity Skin came out. Ed Hall painted white showing a video on themselves. Phantom Creeps (Nashville Pussy, Candy Snatchers). Turning on the radio and hearing a song I like. Obviously Nirvana.” Kurt hands me the Hazard County Girls’ new album Never No More, “Check this out, Sean Yseult (White Zombie, Fabulous Monsters, Rock City Morgue) wrote some of the bass lines, and Katielynn Campbell (Fabulous Monsters, Nashville Pussy) used to be in the band. And this CD was produced by none other than Daniel Rey (Ramones, Misfits, White Zombie).” We go to the ghost of rock ‘n’ roll present’s house to smoke weed. We listen to the CD, and Ozzy tells me the Hazard County Girls currently live in New Orleans. “Three lovely women touring around the country breaking hearts and guitar strings! They give me the creeps, and I like it,” he says raising an eyebrow. “This is their only album, but I am hoping for more.” In walks a young lady carrying a doll with no head. (They tell me she is the ghost of rock ‘n’ roll future.) “My band is playing at the Rank and Revue Anniversary Party on January 16th at Room 710,” she says. “We go on right after Crow. There might be videos projected and sexy ghouls. You’ll be sorry if you miss it.” I don’t fuck with ghosts, but I’ll be there to check out Crow, Hazard County Girls, Scott Biram, Honky and Grady and to promote a brighter rock future by buying a copy of Never No More at www.hazardcountygirls.com.
