The Dear JanesCountry of origin:England Type of music generally:contemporary folk/pop Status:Most recent release, Skirt (2002) See also:The Dear Janes site Comparisons:Indigo Girls Covers/own material:Own General comments:They're a threesome—two women with guitars and one man with a stand-up bass. They promised that their cd would come with a razor blade since much of the lyrics are "depressing" and "dark." Live they're pretty acoustic-y while the cd is more produced and has a lusher feel. (brad@lightfallsdesign.com) Comments about live performance:They were lots of fun to see live—inviting the audience to come closer to the stage, silly bits about rock stars and prozac, and random utterances about afterbirth. Live they're pretty acoustic-y. (3/97, brad@lightfallsdesign.com) Recommended first album:No Skin Recordings:
