Drenched in Blog: Weird SXSW Alert: Care Bears on Fire
At 12:48pm Feb 21, 2008
This is Care Bears on Fire, a Thurston Moore-lauded trio of 14-year-old New York City girls. They sound kind of like a slowed-down version of the Ramones, with a pubescent Kathleen Hanna on vocals. It's gritty. It's hip. It's not Hannah Montana. One of the girls even sports a Public Image Limited shirt. When I was this age, these girls could have pummeled my heart like a steel-toe boot to the face.
They have a song called "Met You on MySpace". Which is kind of creepy, considering they’re not even of driving age. Paging Chris Hanson! – Craig Hlavaty

They were part of the Kid Band Showcase at CMJ a few years back and got on the front page of the New York Times' entertainment section. They're freakin' awesome. Posted 02/21/2008 at 13:52:51 pm
