Your Weekly Women to Listen to: Camille Bloom, Deborah Bond and more

It’s hump day and this week has officially gotten away from me. Good thing I’ve got America’s Next Top Model to look forward to tonight; I just hope Ms. Thang fulfills her promise of giving us new words to add to the Tyrific dictionary (like I just did and I am offering Tyra the opportunity to steal “Tyrific” for her own use because I am sweet like that.) I know, I know – you came here for the music. Shutting up now.

File Under: Rockin’ singer/songwriter

File Under: Seattle

For Fans Of: Ani Difranco, Bonnie Raitt, the awesome Joan Osbourne/Melissa Ethridge duet “Give Me Some Water,” Melissa Ferrick, cowboy boots, choker necklaces, boyish button-down shirts, thrift stores, Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, When Night is Falling, majoring in Women’s Studies

Bonus: Ms. Bloom is not only a Gibson-sponsored guitarist (which is pretty rad) she is also a member of our queer community! It looks like she’s touring the west side of the US the next few months so if you’re around, go out and show her some love.

From: Belgium/Lithuania

For Fans of: “Mr. Roboto,” Hot Chip, Cut Copy, Junior Boys, interestingly angled haircuts, bright colors, modern architecture, long black peacoats, documentaries on the Discovery Channel, Karl Lagerfield

Bonus: I really like what they’re doing. If you listen to their Soundcloud jams they seem to be experimenting with many different styles and sounds. A bonus for me is that their producer/songwriter has just started reading this column so thank you for that Gota!

Bonus: I couldn’t find the song “Keep On” to share with you from her Soundcloud page but you should definitely check it out on her Facebook wall. It incorporates electronic elements in a really interesting way.

Bonus: There honestly, unfortunately, isn’t much of a bonus I can give you only because there is very little information out about the band. All I know is, you know about it now and we should all sing, dance and clap our hands.
