Bitch Is Back with "Blasted"
By John Russell | Mar 9
It’s hard to miss Bitch, even if you’ve never met her before and aren’t familiar with her from her early 2000s punk-folk duo, Bitch and Animal. The multi-colored dreadlocks she’s worn for most of her career have been replaced by a spiky jet-black haircut, but she’s still unmistakable.

By EDGE | Feb 1
Given the anxieties and genuine hardships of 2009, it’s a relief to finally tally up the year and find what was worthy of celebration. Hence the 2009 BEST OF EDGE: PARTIES Awards list-in which the best parties of 2009 are honored, not only for taking our minds off the hiccups of the real world, but for reminding us that all work and no play makes the world a nasty place.
