COURTNEY LOVE signed a deal with Epitaph Records
and is putting together a brand new<br>"femme punk
supergroup." "I've known Courtney since we both used to hang
out at punk<br>shows at the Starwood, and I've
followed her career as a fan ever since," says
Epitaph<br>label head Brett Gurewitz. "When she called up and
asked about working together, it<br>seemed like the
most natural thing in the world." On Wednesday, Love
was in Los Angeles<br>County Superior Court trying to
sever HOLE's ties to Vivendi Universal, challenging
the<br>company's royalty practices.<br><br>Let's hope Samantha is
rocking too in this band.
