Gossip (aka The Gossip) got very creative and made a funny infomercial for their forthcoming new album «Music For Men» out on June 22.

Gossip was formed in 1999 in Olympia, Washington with vocalist Beth Ditto, guitarist Brace Paine, and drummer Kathy Mendonca. The band is pretty indie and clearly not girlie pop. They have toured with the likes of the White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sleater Kinney.

Beth Ditto

Beth Ditto, who fronts the band, describes herself as a «fat, feminist lesbian from Arkansas,» whose powerful voice has been compared to female greats such as Etta James, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner. Her lyrics are explicitly girl-love related and the band’s latest single «Standing in the way of control» is a fiery disco/punk/blues/soul attack on the Republicans’ attitude to gay marriage.
