Babes In Toyland - Sweet '69 (Video)

She's extremely underrated. A truly amazing rock singer

[@alexxander808]

This is the most under appreciated grunge band in my opinion, deserve more credit to their contributions

[@peterwalsh2470]

ok so now as a 53 year old, how is it that I have only discovered this band now?? I feel like I really missed out. It seems a miscarriage of history that this band isn't more well known. I would have loved them back in the day. this song goes hard by the way.

[@pekerhed101]

They weren't "grunge". How dare you shit on their name.

[@alexxander808]

@@pekerhed101 how do you figure they weren't or rather they aren't grunge? That's confusing

[@AFloridaSon]

@@alexxander808 When most of us started hearing of the genre "Grunge", it was connected to bans like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog, and other bands with a more soulful, sometimes bluesy sound. Lots of us did not immediately connect it to just any sound that came out of Seattle in the 80s and 90s.

[@alexxander808]

@@AFloridaSon Grunge wasnt solely formed in Seattle there was San Francisco, Portland and Minneapolis as well. Mainly Westcoast for sure though, yeah I I understand why you feel that way. Being this many years away though from the corporate machine and being able to just analyze it from a creative standpoint Grunge to me is simply a production style and there are bands from that exact time that dont have that production style which makes it evident it's not just the era. Steve Albini is a major contributor to that production style and hes from Chicago like the smashing pumpkins.

[@dramamine6199]

This was from a time when female fronted bands were a novelty. I lived it. They're still one of my favorites and her voice is WAY better than Courtney Loves.

Kat's voice is so crazy and incredible with her scream and plus when she sings in a high sweet pitch at times her voice comes off freaky and scary like a psycho but also a very slick badass chick. Her voice is a force of mother nature or something when screaming. It's insane.

[@stevenmorris2234]

[@livvlife]

I’m glad I explored more grunge/punk bands of the 90s because while I like other bands more, I really enjoy Babes in Toyland. The energy is definitely there. And it shows a more punk side to the grunge scene that they were associated with.

[@tcswag801]

She is absolutely gorgeous and her voices kicks ass 🤘🏻🖤💜

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

I was at Jr. High in Richfield when they made this video and two girls in the know from my class got to dance and mosh around the band in this. I went on to cover this in a high school talent show, without anyone to sing. A very approachable act, they treated us all like family young and old. These girls are Goddesses to me, and I’ve yet to hear a boy band that holds firm on their commitment to rock as they do. Not with the scene, they ARE the scene! I cannot name another group that put some meaning into my life for me when I really needed! The value that they bring will go on to no limit because this seriously inspires countless souls, and in a very bright and bold way. THANK YOU BABES!!

[@timo4826]

I miss music like this.

[@namelessentity5851]

One of my favorite song openings from this era, those 3 clangs of the cowbell is 100% gold! It is reminiscent of something Tommy Lee does , towards the end of "Livewire" Both are gems. Of course I do not know her personally, but Kat Bjelland seems like she would be awesome to hang out with, like the type of person you'd have a whiskey-shot drinking contest, or play mumbly peg with. Same with Kim Shattuck from The Muffs. She had way "too short of a season" I am fortunate to have seen them play St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, circa 96'

[@Dee-1969]

Good catch on the Tommy Lee cowbell 💜

Is there any update on Kat's condition? I'm so sorry to hear of her health problems. Does she need a fundraiser for medical bills?

[@sarasharpe8734]

A fundraiser won’t help. It’s too late, they told her back in 2015 that if she didn’t stop doing drugs then she’d die in a few years. I think she’s at a care home now. Someone thought about doing a fundraiser, but they said she’d just use the money on drugs and alcohol.:(
