Originally from Searcy, AR, this punk trio moved to Olympia, WA,
joining the roster of the indie rock label K Records. Guitarist
Nathan (aka Brace Paine), drummer Kathy, and singer Beth
proclaimed, "We started a band 'cause we were bored. Our mission is
to make you dance, and if you're not gonna dance, just stay at home
and listen to the oldies station." K released a self-titled 7" in
1999, and their full-length debut, That's Not What I Heard, was
distributed by Kill Rock Stars in late 2000. The Gossip were highly
visible due to their exposure in magazines like Out and The
Advocate, where they became icons in the gay and lesbian indie rock
community. After touring with the White Stripes and Sleater-Kinney,
they went back to the studio to record the follow-up, 2002's
Arkansas Heat. They returned the following year with Movement,
while Nathan also performed with Die Monitr Batss. New drummer
Hannah Billie joined the Gossip before they recorded 2005's
Standing in the Way of Control, which incorporated elements of
dance-punk into their raw, urgent sound. GSSP RMX, which further
emphasized their more danceable direction, was released in 2006.
The concert album Live in Liverpool arrived in the U.K. in late
2007 and was then issued in the U.S. by the band's new label, the
Sony imprint Red Ink, in spring 2008. Rework-It, a remix
compilation, followed that summer, with Music for Men appearing in
2009.
Presently they sit or have featured on the Euro20, WCE and Rock
Chart with their single Heavy Cross.
