Thelma and The Sleaze (Nashville, TN)

https://thelmaandthesleaze.bandcamp.com

On and off the stage, Lauren “LG” Gilbert of Thelma and the Sleaze has the type of Southern sass reserved only for no-bullshit bartenders in old dive bars in the middle of nowhere. The Nashville native’s accent glided in and out of our conversation at a recent show in Portland, OR while she gracefully puffed on American Spirits. One of the first questions I asked the vocalist/guitarist was what kept her so hungry after all these years—she responded with, “Oh…well I just had nachos…”

Thelma and the Sleaze’s second studio album, Fuck, Marry, Kill, released in August on The What of Whom and Burger Records, was originally titled Bras and Blazers. “I am an adult and I wanted to make a Robert Palmer [sounding record], but I wanted something that showed a maturity,” says LG. “All of my songs are either about women that I’ve had torrid intimate relationships with or women that I’ve put on a pedestal that seemingly didn’t deserve that… It’s hard because the songs are so good, but also [there’s] the heartache, the anger.” - She Shreds Magazine
