JETT SETTER
from: dallasvoice.com
by Gilbert Garcia Pop Music Critic
You can’t overstate JOAN JETT’s contribution to the role of women in music. A tough, sexy frontwoman, who never let gender get in the way of rocking, the queer singer and guitarist paved the way for the ’90s riot-girl movement.
At a time when major labels did all they could to avoid her, Jett started self-producing her music.
She proved that the term "female rockstar" wasn’t contradiction. Though Jett’s mostly been playing smaller shows, this summer should prove exciting for the 47-year-old idol. Next month, she releases "SINNER," her first album since the 1999 release, "Fetish."
Recently, Jett filmed a video for the song "A.C.D.C.," which co-stars former "Baywatch" babe Carmen Electra as Jett’s sapphic sweetheart. With Jett spending most of her summer traveling with the Warped Tour, this week’s gig (with the BLACKHEARTS) in Richardson should be a great opportunity to pay the pioneer her proper respects.
Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival. Galatyn Park, 959 E Lookout Dr. Richardson. May 20 at 10:15 p.m. $15, festival passes, $20. 972-744-4580.
