LAST.FM
Babes in Toyland were formed in Minneapolis in 1988. Members included Kat Bjelland(guitar and vocals), Lori Barbero (drums) and Michelle Leon (bass). Leon left the band in 1992 and was replaced by Maureen Herman. The band's first major label album, Fontanelle, sold around 200,000 copies. There was much public speculation that lead song and single, "Bruise Violet," was about Bjelland's former bandmate and on-and-off best friend Courtney Loveof Hole: "You see the stars through eyes lit up with lies/You got your stories all twisted up in mine." The band split and reformed throughout the 1990s, losing their record label when Herman left the band in 1996.
