Ex-Hole and Pumpkins bassist finds her way
as bassist for courtney love's Hole and Billy Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins, Melissa Auf der Maur has endured enough rock-star ego-tripping to leave anybody celebrity-skinned. Now she's going solo with the help of a group of rocker boy pals (including Josh Homme and James Iha) who give Auf der Maur's thorny but wispy tunes some goth-metal crunch. Auf der Maur's voice has girl-next-door appeal, flipping from Liz Phair flatness to the blase seethe of Veruca Salt. Unfortunately, like most side-person projects, the spirit is willful but the songs are weak: Ham-fisted lyrics such as "I've got a big mouth/I will taste you" might make you pine for her former bosses' gifts of gab.
