General comments:

Cadalla is a supergroup, consisting of "Kissy" (Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney) on vocals and guitar, "Dusty" (Sarah Dougher of The Lookers) on vocals and Farfisa organ, and "Junior," also of the Lookers, on drums.

Sleater-Kinney fans know about Cadallaca? Corin Tucker's side band, with a drummer and cheesy keyboard player. It's lighter and poppier (almost girlgroupish) than Sleater-Kinney, and a complete charmer. I've listened to it a lot. (4/99, dgk@panix.com)
