Katastrophy Wife
Katastrophy Wife is an American rock band formed by Kat Bjelland and her former husband Glenn Mattson in 1998. Bjelland also fronted the punk rock band Babes in Toyland between 1987 and 2001. The band currently consists of Bjelland on lead vocals and guitar and her boyfriend, Adrian Johnson, on drums. The band released two albums, Amusia (2001) and All Kneel (2004). A third album was due for release in 2008, but, as of 2015, has yet to surface. In May of 2014, a 10th anniversary reissue of All Kneel was released as part of Record Store Day. Kat Bjelland has since joined fellow Babes in Toyland band member Lori Barbero and new bass player, Clara Salyer in a reunion tour.
History
Formation and early years (1999-2001)
Kat Bjelland and her then-husband Glenn Mattson formed Katastrophy Wife in 1998, during the time in which Bjelland was still in Babes in Toyland. Seeing as Babes in Toyland were not performing much shows - and were unofficially defunct after bassist Maureen Herman left in 1996 - Katastrophy Wife soon became Bjelland's main musical output.

by: Katastrophy WifeI have electrical occurrences
Electro-magnet
Doors blown open
Craft is burnt out
Her name is violet like the way-(ward )it goes
O'er the crooked finger road so dream like how they look
and see only this time they were staring at me
An elaborate series of strap-on wires
Onto your skull record to paper or new format
Your thought dreams recorded instantaneous art form
An elaborate system
Captured without time to evaluate or re-think time for
interpretation
Straight from the horses head.strangulate pearl for
Your the prettiest of all the girls lie lie stick every
piece of garbage in my eye
Surprise a sign.. the scryer sighs
Small time cryer. you rubbed out her wire- eyes.
