Starve the Beat: The Screaming Females Story

[monkeybone346]

nice!!!! keep up the good ol' organic/grassroots work! shes too effin' exciting!

[CONORR1980]

Is it wrong for me to want to cumn in my pants whenever i here this girl make music? Much love.

[xPsuedo]

talk about putting your blood in the music...

[2hotinaz]

So, when she shreds, she REALLY shreds...the skin from her fingers! Kinda gross though. I'd think she had built up enough callus to prevent that by now.

[erikkudrna]

@ 2:21 holy shit....

[PanchoPatron]

4:53 is "Pedro" off their second album "What if someone is Watching Their TV?" and 7:07 is their totally awesome cover of "Cortez the Killer" off their "Singles" album.

[Shaddow12]

What song is playing at 4:53 and at 7:07?

[PanchoPatron]

@Shaddow12 4:53 is "Pedro" off their second album "What if someone is Watching Their TV?" and 7:07 is their totally awesome cover of "Cortez the Killer" off their "Singles" album.

[19ZoSo93]

That girl can shred!!

Cool band.

[GO4H8R1]

Their latest album "Castle Talk" might be their best. I have been jamming it for 1 month straight ! Best Band in Rock Today. The Trio is so great live that no CD or Video can fully capture the magic.

[erikkudrna]

@GO4H8R1 totally agreed

[McDicker96]

tell me your michael jackson cover is on an album

[narrowsparrow]

WAAATA BOA'DINGG.

awesome.

[wtficantgetanamewtf]

I fucking love this band!

[eyessettokill8082]

Sick video. My friend from mass showed me this band and I'm from long island. I showed my brother, who lives in nyc, screaming females after that. Then I showed a few people in college up in connecticut and they liked it. I'm pretty sure they'll show someone else this band too. It just goes to show that bands like this can spread without mainstream shit like M.T.V. and like the drummer said he plays for about a thousand people in just one summer so think about it, it's a growing fan-base.

[Gamagachee]

8:19 ... it's heartbreaking to hear that from her. She has so much talent. Screaming Females are doing what they love because they love doing it and they want to do it for the rest of their life. The state of fame that they're in isn't enough for them to live their lives. Hopefully they blast into the mainstream like Nirvana did, and eliminate scene music. Not expecting them to do that, but I believe they're more than capable of doing so if they get enough attention.

[deengew]

@Gamagachee

this

[McDicker96]

@Gamagachee holy shit that would be awesome if they pulled a nirvana. They obviously have the talent.

[Gamagachee]

Marriissa is starting to become one of my most favorite guitarists.

[glucosemusic]

Mike reminds me of The Dude.

[cathyosullivan]

YES.

[ledzepplina]

saw this band at hall of williamsburg brooklyn NY. opened for Dino Jr i was front row on the left, tht girl melted my face off.

[Alexkoolaid]

So does anyone know what happen to the parlor???

[roozoo]

That girl not only licks carpets, she also licks windows.

[Narflz]

the cover of I Want You Back at the end may be the most satisfying Jackson 5 cover in existence

[luvrachelng]

what is the song in the very beginning??

[zerussomaniac]

wow that girl shreds and has such a fantastic voice

[mtganimemiikefan]

wow this band is awesome

[MutantDog266]

They have saved as far as modern music goes. I thought that the best was past and i missed it. But thank god i found them.

[vergarihno]

marissa is such an incredible guitarist

[GenteelBrett]

hey,

i just showed your videos and live performances to my students on the Navajo Reservation. Cool Stuff!

[PanchoPatron]

It's "Boyfriend" off their second album "What if someone is Watching Their TV?"

[Delta9son]

There's an assumption in many of these cultures that these children are mentally retarded, when in fact they're not at all. I saw how the operation affects the child, as well as the child's family and often the village.

[IRideFixedBeard]

@PanchoPatron Yes.

[blackflag277]

song at 1:54? i really love the "is it your boy friend! is it your girl friend!

[Storcogato]

saw them in boston lsat night, liked them better than AM

[alexturner42]

i saw them last night at the arctic monkeys show too. they fuckin rock!

[narut13]

Yeah saw them last night to.

[Fatvod]

I just saw them tonight with AM...they were so sick!

[JimAdsit]

Saw them open for Arctic Monkeys last night. I came in when they started playing and was frozen in my tracks due to the ferociousness of their playing. I wanted that Guinness, but I couldn't make a move to the bar........I was mesmerized!! Met them afterwards and they were very nice. That is also a plus! I hope they make it.

[bakinslato]

i adore this band. with every sense of my being. they are the greatest thing i have heard. since nirvana. and neutral milk hotel. but they are friggin AMAZING!!

[BaronessStrange]

fucking hell, she's an amazing guitarist!

[luckycomehawaii]

i like this band Mahalo for posting Aloha

[dotheeEVOLUTION]

van halen? you're a fucking idiot.

[thebrood1987]

[TheMrDilettante]

This Marissa girl is going places. What a frickin' awesome voice!

[thekevingilmartin]

really wish I had seen them on Staten Island, but I was at school. ugh. such a good band.

[PleaseEnjoiFilms]

saw them live on mtv the other day, they're really good, glad i came across their stuff

[legally13]

OMG My cousins cousin is Mike!!!!!!!

[iluvjackwhitemost]

Mike's dad was at the concert 7/25 in Columbus

[WetheBest96]

I was there to. I got video and MP3's from the show

[WetheBest96]

I like them but it lots of screaming is weird but other then that good.

[MrsMaggie]

Wow I haven't seen her in years and now she on her way up to fame. Awesome! Keep up the good work Marissa. Hope your Mom and Dad are doing good.

[keeleypearl]

Saw them in Columbus 2 days ago- they sounded great! I hope they go far...she really shreds-

[iluvjackwhitemost]

i was in Columbus too...KICKASS!

[theniclatrique]

Saw them in montreal, Canada, on July 22nd. Opening for the Dead Weather. AND THEY WERE F***IN AMAZING!!!

Bought all three of their records. Baby teeth is the best one imo. Pass the word and tell all your friends. Theese guys will go very far.

[MikeDirnttribute]

i saw them in detroit opening for dead weather also

and they were awesome

[Moodylovesbears]

I wanted to go to that show so bad, I was across the street at the damn Tigers game

[joserskid]

So did I and I tottaly agree.

They were awesome!

Best opening act I've seen.

And The Dead Weather was awesome too.

[grapenutsrbt]

Indeed.

[danjal1]

Also caught these guys last night at Boston HoB .... wildly impressed. It was nice to see so much raw energy in a band, thats hard to find these days ... and holy smokes can that girl whale her guitar. Hoping to see them return to Boston very soon!

[mcnamarawl]

Caught them last night at 9:30 Club in DC opening for Dead Weather. Amazing! The crowd was going nuts. Gonna get the CD and turn it up loud!!!

[zeppwhostonesdc]

SAME!!!!!! They were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both bands. I met marissa, jarrett, and alison from dead weather afterwards. Marissa drew us a minorah(with five candles lit, and I suck at spelling)

[cantstopdoorstop]

inspiring kids.

that last minute is opossum = perfect + awesome.

[drummergurl1982]

awesome, wish it were longer!

[ZEBU1212]

STARVE IT!

[OBAnchor]

just wanted to say great job on the video film.

[Mooshpups]

That was really good.

[ecto24]

So happy i found this band today!

[palsaradise]

Seriously nice work.

I think the Females are pound for pound one of best garage rock bands in the country.

As a fellow DIY filmmaker, many kudos
