Huggy Bear - Her Jazz

1 Comments Published by Tom on Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 8:06 PM.

I mentioned the recent Mojo round up that was the top 50 UK indie singles of all time on indie mp3 here.

At number 50 was Her Jazz by Huggy Bear. I must admit to having an immense dislike of the band at the time but as years pass I have grown to appreciate their music and what they stood for. The band were considered the leading UK riot grrl band and had more in common with US bands such as Bikini Kill rather than what was going in the UK indie scene at the time. As the band stated "indie just became an abstract term for a style of music, not ideas or values, 'cause they were all signing to major labels".

You can read more about the band at wikipedia.

Mojo reckons Her Jazz is now unavailable and out of print so here it is. Oh and a video too.

About

Are You Scared To Get Happy takes it's name from the Bristol fanzine of the same name that was produced by Matt Haynes who later co-founded Sarah Records.

This little blog is just my tribute to the indie pop scene of years past and I hope you enjoy it. This blog is created in the spirit of my original indie-mp3 site which existed between 2002 - 2005 and is now a fully fledged music review site.

I endeavour to update it on a weekly basis with tracks posted by me being available for a limited period. Feel free to leave comments or contact me. If posting a track offends get in touch and I will take it down.
