Yellow Thunder Woman

From Yellow Thunder Woman on Myspace
Yellow Thunder Woman is my real name, it is the english translation of my American Indian name Wakinyan Zi Win. My parents wanted to register me by my Indian name but they were not allowed to use Indian language on my birth certificate, another nice little cultural genocide policy courtesy of the US government. I am a Singer an Artist and a Film maker. My art reflects my views on the state of the world, religon and myself. My father was a painter and an outspoken bastard, I think I must have inhereted his disease, terminally. My music is exactly like my mind - obscene, ironic, sarcastic and sprinkled with a little bit of sugar sweetness on top. I just co-directed my new film The Canary Effect which will premiere at The Tribeca Festival in New York April 2006. It is the first documentary I have seen that presents a deeply disturbing subject with a Rock N Roll edge and I am extremely proud to have contributed to it.
I am taking the liberty to try and convince everybody I possibly can that optimism is dangerous and pessimism is stupid. I think people should be as real as they possible can be, even if that means being an asshole or a nun, or an asshole nun. I believe that everybody is religous in their own personal way even though we dont like to think so. SO SUCK ON THAT. (more)

From the Myspace page of The Bastard Fairies
The Bastard Fairies could be termed an oxymoron. If this is the case then their music is most definitely oxymoronic. Naughty but nice, sweet and sour, beautifully macabre, wonderfully morose. Like a baby with a razor blade, it'll hug you then cut you with no warning. Lead singer Yellow Thunder Woman, fiercly intelligent and clearly disturbed is that baby, assigned to take you through the many trials of life and understand that, no matter who you are, or where you've come from, we are all f**ked up and twisted and each of us a bastard fairy in our own little way. She is Native American, a direct decendant of the Great Ponca Chief Standing Bear, an Indian princess and member of the Yankton Sioux. In the Lakota language sioux means snake in the grass and Yellow Thunders inner soul is just that. She's the sort of girl who you could take to meet your ultra conservative, christian parents and appear to them to be the most perfect sweet little thing. Then, just when you think you're safe, up jumps that snake and bites into your mothers neck. Injecting her central nervous system with venomous tales of how to give great blow jobs and having extra marital affairs. But before you know it, shes served up an antidote of pure cute and all fellatious thoughts are gone. However, be aware that like herpes of the mouth it lurks in the shadows of one's concience waiting to strike and there is no cure. Life is very short and death is very long so come on friends lets embrace our own little peculiarities and become part of the Bastard Fairy family.
