Dear Max

A little while back I posted about a short-lived band named Jacqueline Bon Bon that featured Anna Oxygen and some other awesome girls from Olympia. If you didn't read that post, you can find it HERE. 

Anyways, a person named Max was super excited that we posted a couple of JBB's songs, because they are pretty much impossible to find and they'd been looking for them online for years. In honor of Max's excitement, and the fact that Jacqueline Bon Bon was a really great band...I'm posting their other three songs!! 

To Max: I hope you totally fall back in love with Jacqueline Bon Bon!! To everyone else: I hope you totally fall in love with Jacqueline Bon Bon!

Queer moments in history--2002

In 2002, Electroclash was a sensation, Sleater-Kinney was a band, and I could still drink until 6 in the morning and go to class at 9--but one of the coolest parts of 2002 was seeing a band that only existed for one tour, Jacqueline Bon Bon. 

Sometime in 2002 (I can't really remember when, see above) Tracy + the Plastics played at my college (Antioch RIP) and brought with "them" a 3 girl band from Olympia nobody ever heard of.  Consisting of Anna Oxygen, Kelly Chambers, and Kitty Jensen, Jacqueline Bon Bon had one keyboard, a bass guitar, microphones, cute wardrobes and cuter songs and quickly became the best band I ever heard that only ever recorded five songs. 

I remember trying to keep up with Jacqueline Bon Bon, always hoping they would, you know, make an album. Or tour. Or make just one more song! They never did.

I would've loved to hear whatever they came up with if they had kept making music together, but I guess here's hoping for the reunion tour!

Here are 2 of those 5 songs that ruled 2002 for me. I hope you like them...I know you will. 

Want Me to Want You

Kelly and Kitty Want to Hang Out
