Former Hole/Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur is back with a mission: to kick the shit out of all chauvinist pigs who believe there’s no place for women in rock… Melissa has modelled for Calvin Klein; toured with Marilyn Manson; and donned a fringed white jumpsuit to sing in Hand Of Doom, a Black Sabbath cover band… With Billy Corgan and/or Courtney Love, she went straight into playing world tours to 70,000 people at a time. For her current record, Auf Der Maur, she’s pulled in favours from her friends Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri (both from the Queens Of The Stone Age), Twiggy Ramirez (Marilyn Manson, A Perfect Circle) and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins). After having finished a tour recently as support for A Perfect Circle, Melissa from Montreal feels like playing clubs again. See her terrific rock show live at ‘den Atelier’, if you dare…
