“Babes in Toyland at the old 9:30 club in DC. Kat’s using a metal carpenters file on her guitar. The result was a gnarly wall of ear-piercing noise! It made a couple of her guitar strings break.. one of which cut her finger open, causing her to bleed like a stuck pig on stage”

Babes in Toyland - Bluebell, Hollywood, 1992

When I came across this video last week, I was thrilled. The quality of the video is awesome for its time period, and Kat puts on one hell of a show. And the best part is that the whole show is taped so if you thought this was great, you should watch the whole thing: here. I will seriously never get enough!
