History


Brownstein, Albee and CJ Phillips (James) came together to form Excuse 17, a band that lasted only a few years would proved to be influential. Brownstein and Albee both played guitar and sang and CJ played the drums. The band quickly recorded a demo tape and then began recording for various compilations on independent record labels. Their first full-length recording, Excuse Seventeen, was released jointly on Atlas Records (LP) and the queercore label Chainsaw Records (CD).[1] They released a second and final album, Such Friends Are Dangerous, on the indie label Kill Rock Stars in 1995, which displayed a boost in recording quality.[2]


The band often played shows with Heavens to Betsy, including touring, not surprisingly since both bands were an active part of the riot grrrl scene.[3] They also both appear on the compilation LP/CD Free to Fight. Corin Tucker from Heavens to Betsy struck up a friendship with Brownstein and they dated for a time. They decided to form Sleater-Kinney, a side project that soon evolved into their main focus as their respective groups ended. However, Excuse 17's recordings are still valued by fans of Sleater-Kinney, those interested in riot grrrl and queercore recordings, and record collectors in general: Such Friends Are Dangerous was named one of the fifty best indie rock albums of the Pacific Northwest by online music magazine Pitchfork.[4] Albee also recorded with Tucker as Heartless Martin, releasing a cassette on Chainsaw Records in 1993.[5]


Following the dissolution of Excuse 17, Albee has built a successful career in visual art. Her work has been praised by publications including Bomb,[6]Tom Tom,[7]Artforum,[8] and Aperture.[9] Her papers are being preserved by the Fales Library at New York University.[10] As of 2017 she is a photography professor at the City College of New York.[11]


As of 2017 James lives in Olympia and plays drums for the rock band Nudity.[12]

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
