Librarians.
In bands.
Perhaps we should listen to them, right?
Here are three bands that I happen to like, all of which have librarypeoples in them.
Are you a librarian with a band?
If you are the type to be cool and drop a comment on this post I just might feature you in a future post. Then you’d be totally famous (in case librarianship has not brought you that already)…
1) Dum Dum Girls
I have no idea who this woman is, but when you poke around on the webs you find out that she is a librarian named Dee Dee out in Los Angeles. I think her songs are awesome. Listen to them. I also think it’d be hilarious if she isn’t actually a librarian- if someone thought that it’d be a good marketing scheme to say that she is.
2) Knight School
listen on myspace
Lisa Goldstein, the drummer, works at Brooklyn Public Library. I went and checked out their show in the back room at a steakhouse in Long Island City last night and they rocked. There need to be more shows in steakhouses, don’t you think?
3) Skatey-Eight
listen on myspace
Anne Heathen, the singer for sk88 has written some posts for the PLA blog. She does YA library stuff in Michigan, but more importantly her punk band is pretty great. Check out Zombie Song if you are into the undead and whatnot.

How cool! I’ll have to check them out on non-work time. I’m not a real librarian, but I’ve been working at Gibson Library (Henderson, NV) for 4 1/2 years now. I’ve been a shelver and now work at the circ desk. I play bass in a hip-hop band called Rhyme N Rhythm.
kinda make me want to start a band, if just for the pla publicity.
I am a Reference Librarian at Westhampton Free Library, which is on Eastern Long Island. I have been playing guitar in a Rockabilly band of my own creation called The Vendettas. Lately we have been playing in, well, libraries. You gotta get in where you have connections.
this is really cool. i’m glad someone has finally caught on that librarians rock the hardest!
i have worked for the gwinnett county public library in lawrenceville, georgia for almost four years now and i’m a rapper in a group called the remnant out of atlanta, georgia. we have a new album called pb&j that you can purchase on our myspace. shameless self promotion! yay!
