Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny
Indie folkie Danielle Howle first emerged as the
frontwoman for the group Lay Quiet Awhile, which debuted in 1993 with
the album Delicate Wire; a year later, she issued her first solo single,
"Frog" on Simple Machines. Live at McKissick Museum appeared in mid-1995, and the following summer Howle returned with her second studio full-length About to Burst,
recorded in part with her new backing band The Tantrums. She and John
Furr (guitars), Troy Tague (drums) and Bryan Williams (bass) captured
Howle's classic crossovers of country and punk for her finest work yet.
She next released 1997's "High School Dance," a seven-inch on Sub Pop; Do a Two Sable surfaced that fall, and in mid-1999 Howle returned with Catalog,
her debut for Kill Rock Stars. Her spontaneity and sultry nature while
incorporating spoken word and country-like twang has had critics going
crazy since the mid-nineties. Showdates with the likes of Elliott Smith,
Ani DiFranco, Throwing Muses and the Indigo Girls also positioned Howle
for some great things come the new millennium. Her third installment
for Amy Ray's Daemon Records, Howle and The Tantrums issued the
versatile and eclectic Skorborealis in spring 2002.
