SEATTLE — When the women of Atrocity Girl, a grunge-influenced heavy rock band whose four members live in the North Seattle and Shoreline area, walked through the door of a studio to record their first single in 2019, they were met by a lone male audio engineer and a bad joke.
"Women are always late," is the first thing he said, according to drummer Angela Dane.
After that and some awkward setup time, the band didn't have their usual easy, joking rapport, and weren't able to get into a good groove when it came time to play. Dane emailed the engineer after and said the band would pay him for both days booked, but wouldn't be coming in the next day.
