Nearly six months after the formation of the all-female rock group Bastard, the once quartet has been reduced to a duet. Only originator Courtney Love and former Hole drummer Patty Schemel remain.
When they started out in March, Bastard consisted of Love, Schemel, Veruca Salt guitarist Louise Post and former Rockit bassist Gina Crosley. However, personalities clashed and by the time the foursome began recording a demo this summer, Post and Crosley bailed to work on the forthcoming Veruca Salt album (they hope to release it next summer).
“I had some problems with some of the ladies and I don’t want to talk about it,” said Love. Post left due to “unhealthy and unprofessional working conditions.”
Regardless, Love and Schemel have finished the demo, which Love describes as combining Led Zeppelin and the Velvet Underground.
However, finding the right musicians for her group is tough for Love who
admitted: “I have really high standards and it’s not a joke anymore.”
Although she is thrilled to be teamed up with Schemel, she said that if she can’t form an all-female Bastard, she might pursue a solo career. This, however, is not the path she originally wanted to take.
