Love’s supergroup may end up solo

Personal and professional difficulties between band members have shrunk Courtney Love’s all-female supergroup Bastard to two members, Love and former Hole drummer Patty Schemel.

Louise Post of Veruca Salt and bassist Gina Crosley from Rockit Girl ditched Love’s group to work on a new Veruca Salt album, leaving Love and Schemel to record a rough Bastard demo.

If she is unable to find suitable female bandmates for her Led Zeppelin-meets-the-Velvet Underground project, Love may go solo.

“My feeling is the more, the merrier in terms of girls, but it’s hard,” Love said.

Spin Doctors reunite after hiatus

The Spin Doctors are back together again after a two-year hiatus due to vocalist Chris Barron’s paralysis of the vocal chords.

Barron has fully recovered from the rare paralysis that spun the Doctors’ 1999 bid for repeat success out of control.

Though reforming strictly for a performance at New York’s famed venue the Wetlands Preserve, the Spin Doctors may have a comeback in the works.

The Spin Doctors achieved mainstream success in the early 1990s with the hits “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.”
