Gossip

Gossip (or The Gossip) was an American indie rock band that was originally active from 1999 until 2016, formed in Searcy, Arkansas. For most of their career, the band consisted of singer Beth Ditto, multi-instrumentalist Brace Paine, and drummer Hannah Blilie, who replaced Kathy Mendonça, who left the band to pursue a career as a midwife. After releasing several recordings, the band broke through with their 2006 studio album, Standing in the Way of Control. A follow-up, Music for Men, was released in 2009. The band played a mix of post-punk revival, indie rock, and dance-rock. Their last album, A Joyful Noise, was released in May 2012.
==Links to Peel==
Peel first obtained their EP in 2002 and played a track from it during the summer. A year later, the band released The Movement album, which Peel nominated as one of his records of the month for September 2003 (Peel's Record Box). The group also did a session for Peel's show.
In 2007, Gossip closed the Glastonbury Festival, playing the final set on the John Peel stage during which Ditto gave a tribute to the late John Peel.
