Back in the early nineties, there were three bands that changed the way rock was heard. Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Minneapolis trio Babes in Toyland. The band split in 1998, leaving a fantastic collection of albums, and proving a lasting influence on many of todays un-manufactured girl bands, as diverse as Kittie and Le Tigre

Well, it's a new decade, and Babes In Toyland have reformed, and are currently in the middle of a UK tour. If you never saw the band 'back in the day, then get yourself to one or more of the following venues:-
