I recently searched the No Treble archives for a bassist who was listed among Carolina Enriquez\u2019s influences; Kristen Pfaff. For those unfamiliar with Pfaff, she was the bassist with Minneapolis-based Janitor Joe. Pfaff then took a hiatus from Janitor Joe to play with Hole from 1993 to 1994 and was the bassist on Hole\u2019s (ironically titled) Live Through This<\/a> album. My search in the No Treble archives turned up very little, but in all fairness, No Treble didn\u2019t come online until 2009, and Pfaff passed in 1994. The web was a much smaller place then, accessed through a dial-up connection. Additionally, the grunge world was still processing the death of Kurt Cobain, who passed two months before Pfaff\u2019s death. Vice reporter Hannah Ewens noted the timing of Pfaff\u2019s passing<\/a> \u201c\u2026it was just a footnote in the shadow of the pop cultural phenomenon that was Kurt Cobain.\u201d So for this edition of Wonder Women<\/a>, we\u2019re going back to the early \u201990s. To the days when Kristen Pfaff lived in Minneapolis. Our story will end with updates on how the Kristen Pfaff story continues to evolve, even in 2022.<\/p>\n
