Evil Stig  >>

Sometimes the worst tragedies can give rise to great things. Evil Stig is a side project formed after the murder (still unsolved) of the Gits singer Mia Zapata by the surviving band members and Joan Jett to raise money for a Seattle self-defense and support group for women called Home Alive. What began as a one-off gig as part of a series of Home Alive benefits held in Portland, Oregon, turned into a string of shows, songwriting collaborations and eventually this album. The material runs the gamut from Gits classics ("Second Skin," "Spear & Magic Helmet," and others) to Joan Jett tunes ("Activity Grrrl," "Got a Problem," and "Crimson and Clover") to an Evil Stig original entitled "Last to Know." There is also a song called "Whirlwind" that features Jett singing along to Mia's recorded voice, and though Jett's voice dominates, it's still a bit eerie. Jett does great justice to these songs and captures the fury and passion of Mia's lyrics as no one other than Mia herself could have. --Adem Tepedelen
