"The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, "Thus far and no farther." - Ludwig van Beethoven
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." -- Hunter Thompson

LAURIE G-FORCE IS A NOTORIOUS ROCK GRRL!
Currently, Laurie is the bassist for VIETNAM, the legendary Atlanta band, as well as MACACCA, which hails from Athens, Georgia.
About the songs on this profile:
"Not Afraid", "Devil Man", and "Palsy", were engineered by Alice (of TOY), and recorded at Dallas Austin's Recording Project (D.A.R.P.) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Sweetheart demos feature Laurie G-Force (Vocals/Bass), Alice (Guitar/Vocals), Rick Cohen (Guitar), and Micah Watkins (Drums).
"California" by Vietnam is a live recording that is currently available on i-tunes.
"Temporary Chaos" by The Living Abortions was produced and engineered by Clint Steele and was recorded a few summers ago with Cris Cox (Vocals/Guitar), Jymi Mullins (Guitar/Vocals), LG (Bass/Vocals), and Tracy Coss (Drums).
"Ancient Japanese Love Song" is a live recording from a practice space when Pinkeye was only three weeks old, and received airplay on WKLS 96.1, WRAS 88.5, and WREK 91.1 in Atlanta. The trio consisted of Laurie G-Force (Guitar/Vocals), Mitsu Bitchi (Vocals/Bass), and Kelly Diamond (Drums/Vocals).
An innkeeper's daughter, LG spent a childhood living next door to a hotel lounge and listening to the muffled bass that bled through its walls. Fired in the kiln of punk rock and shaped by influences like the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Black Sabbath, LG soon began honing her bass playing chops with Atlanta bands like Ultrababyfat and Sweetheart, and opening for everyone from Pavement to Drivin 'n' Cryin'.
