Biography

[1] Courtney Love (born Courtney Michelle Harrison on July 9, 1964) is the lead singer, lyricist, and rhythm guitarist for the alternative rock band Hole. Love is also a solo artist, an occasional model and actress. Love was born in San Francisco, California to psychotherapist Linda Carroll and Hank Harrison, a short-lived manager for The Grateful Dead.

Love began her professional music career with a brief stint as the lead singer of Faith No More in the 1982. Shortly, she was kicked out of the band, due to the band wanting a male singer. Three years later, she formed an all-female pop-rock band called Sugar Babydoll with Kat Bjelland and Jennifer Finch, and later - also with Bjelland - the Pagan Babies. Love had greater early success as an actress, appearing as the best friend of Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox’s Sid Vicious biopic Sid and Nancy in 1986, and in Cox’s Straight to Hell in 1987, as well as small roles on television episodes.

Returning to music in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Love claims she co-founded the all-female rock band Babes in Toyland with Kat Bjelland in 1987, but others deny it;. Acrimony between Love and Bjelland led to Love’s quick exit from the band. The band’s biographer claims she stole house receipts to a Butthole Surfers concert. In 1989, Love formed her own band, Hole, with guitarist Eric Erlandson.

    two tickets!...anyway, yeah, the tour is billed as a "greatest hits" sort of deal and no one (besides starred) have been announced or rumored to be in attendance. i doubt it will be a courtney solo show, otherwise it would have been billed as courtney acoustic or something. i think she'll probably play new material, like she did when she played the solo shows around the time the nobody's daughter demos started popping up. fuck, if she took the stage and farted into the mic and walked off, i got my $50 worth.

    I saw her when she was doing the 'Hole' tour in 2010. She's fun live. I'm going to see her in Seattle to belatedly celebrate my birthday.

    Is she going to release any of her new songs before she goes on tour? If she doesn't, it'll be like a Hole rehash 2.0, except under her name this time. She's gotta give us something to chew on in preparation of the live performances. I'm dying for her new material! I'm happily going to trek up to Seattle to see her no questions (wish she'd come to Portland though so I don't have to deal with the drive), but I'm curious about when, if, and if not, why, she hasn't released a single track.

    I loved her once I listened to her read from Kurt's suicide letter and realized she was putting up with a selfish sh!thead.

    “I have two A-sides coming out in mid April and I tour through June and July, playing about 70 shows. I had six songs, but I decided to pick the two excellent songs instead of four really good songs and two excellent songs. I’m doing an iTunes exclusive.”
