Monte Belmonte and Kaliis Smith, for The Fabulous 413, New England Public Media:

Today has a distinctly femme bent.

And a bit of awe as well, as these two xennials get to meet a Bay State musical icon. Juliana Hatfield, in addition to her solo work, has been a part of Blake Babies, The Lemonheads, Minor Alps, The I Don’t Cares, and a swath of appearances alongside rock’s most influential voices, all while influencing the next generation of guitarists herself.

Her newly released 22nd album, “Lightning Might Strike,” is a return to the textured, punchy rock that was her M.O. for years in her early career while packed with lyrics and progressions that are full of emotions still being processed. We welcome her into the studio for Live Music Friday to hear more of her newest sounds and tales of her journey until now, including her move to the 413.

KEXP have now posted video from Juliana’s live session recorded at their studios in Seattle on January 31, 2020 during her winter tour. Remember tours? :(

Juliana and the band are on top form here and they sound outstanding. They play Hole In My Life, an awesome version of Lost Ship, Juliana then chats to DJ Cheryl Waters, and they finish with Everything’s For Sale and Wonder Why.

It’s also worth revisiting Renata Steiner’s excellent official photo set from that day.

These KEXP sessions are always SO good. A reminder of Juliana’s last couple of visits:

Missed this from a couple of weeks ago (Oct 14, 2016). A radio session / interview with two thirds of Blake Babies. Lightning 100, Nashville:

Juliana Hatfield and John Strohm stopped by the ONErpm studio to catch up with Ana Lee before their show at The Basement East. John gives a personal shout out to Phoebe Bridgers, the history of Blake Babies, and their reunion show. Blake Babies perform an acoustic version of “Waiting For Heaven” and “Lament” live in the studio.

From an interview with all three Blake Babies at NoiseTrade:

NT: Many present day bands list Blake Babies as an influence and have even name dropped the band in interviews . For example, Bully comes to mind recently. How does that feel for you all and to what do you attribute your lasting sonic legacy?

Strohm: I’ve met the people in Bully before – they are a local band here in Nashville – and they’ve given me no indication that they know our band! But I do hear an influence, whether it’s direct or they are mining similar influences as us. I’ve seen the references in the press. When young bands or music writers acknowledge us as influential, that feels amazing. That’s the best thing, really. We felt at the time that a big reason we were toughing it out – and it was very hard to do this band for a lot of reasons – was to build some sort of musical legacy that could become more important over time. We didn’t necessarily expect it to happen, but I think we really hoped it would. Now that we’ve built our lives in other directions it matters less than I would have expected, but it’s still very satisfying. I can only really speak for myself, but I’m such a geek music fan that it just blows my mind to think that something we did as kids decades ago actually has a life and continuing influence today. The very best thing that could happen is to inspire young people to want to make music, or to influence the music they make. That sort of thing really validates the whole experience, and everything we put into it.

Smith: I’m proud of the initiative we took in the early days of our career. How when nobody would sign us, we put out our own record. Also, how we worked hard and worked together because we cared so much about what we were doing.

Hatfield: I am just glad no one got killed, that we didn’t kill each other, or kill ourselves.

Also of note at NoiseTrade there's vintage audio of a 1989 Blake Babies studio session for WERS.

There's an interview and performances of If I Could, My Sister, and I Don't Know What To Do With My Hands in a live session at Jefferson Public Radio.

A reminder that there's a great photoset on Flickr too.

Another German radio interview, including a live performance of 'I Don't Know What Do With My Hands'.

Towards the end of the interview, Juliana and Matthew say that although there are no firm plans for Minor Alps in the future (Matthew is returning to work with Nada Surf after the tour), they are "working on a new song".

Whoop.
