RoXy’s Rock Rewind

ON THIS DATE BACK IN 1993, A BAND WAS FORMING IN WISCONSIN THAT WAS LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIIC LEAD VOCALIST…THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A FEMALE LEAD LIKE DEBBIE HARRY, PATTI SMITH, CHRISSY HYNDE AND SIOUXSIE SIOUX…UNIQUE AND STRONG PERSONALITIES TO GO ALONG WITH VOCALS THAT WEREN’T HIGH AND CHIRPY…THE BAND WAS GARBAGE, AND IT WAS LEAD BY THE MUSIC PRODUCER THAT LEAD PRODUCTION ON A PRETTY NOTEWORTHY ALBUM, NIRVANA’S NEVERMIND RELEASED JUST A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE…BUTCH VIG. ON THIS NIGHT 31 YEARS AGO, GARBAGE FOUND THEIR LEAD SINGER WHEN THEY SAW THE BAND ANGELFISH’S VIDEO FOR “SUFFOCATE ME” ON MTV’S ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SHOWCASE, 120 MINUTES…ANGELFISH’S LEAD WAS SHIRLEY MANSON FROM SCOTLAND! THE GUYS FROM GARBAGE HAD THEIR MANAGER TRACK MANSON DOWN TO OFFER HER THE GIG…TOTAL POACHING, BTW…AND IN A LEAP OF FAITH, SHE ACCEPTED THE OFFER AND MOVED TO WISCONSIN…AND IT PAID OFF, AFTER A ROCKY START! SHIRLEY MANSON HAS PROVEN TO BE A ROCK VOCALIST TO ADMIRE AND SHE IS NO “STUPID GIRL”…BUT THE SINGLE ALL ABOUT SQUANDERING YOUR POTENTIAL ROCKS…OFF OF THE BAND’S SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM RELEASED IN 1995, STUPID GIRL…IT’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X IN THE 5 O’CLOCK FREAK OUT SPONSORED BY SIREN TATTOO STUDIOS!
