SEATTLE METROPOLITAN

Rotten Apples + 64 Spiders + New Luck Toy
This past summer, Seattle Metropolitan profiled Dejha Colantuono as one of our town's hottest singles, and anyone who's heard or seen her band the Rotten Apples can figure out why. It's high time to catch up with the group in its new—and best—incarnation since 2002, when Colantuono was living in L.A. and commuting to work on the music and perform. Back in Seattle, the singer/musician with the sultriest punk style this side of Joan Jett is now teamed with all-star players including Bambi Nutt (the Razorbabes), Laura Derig (formerly of the AC/DC tribute group Hell's Belles), and guitarist Kimberly Morrison, who works double-time in the equally energetic New Fangs. The Apples have just come home after a stint in Europe, where they toured for the first time and worked on their second full-length, Give You Mean. It should be out this month, so ask these badass babes for more than an autograph after they tear the place up. (Rachel Shimp)
