FOR NEW BAND<br><br>COURTNEY LOVE has finalized the
lineup for her new side project, BASTARD. The
HOLE<br>frontwoman will be joined by VERUCA SALT guitarist LOUISE
POST, former Hole drummer<br>PATTY SCHEMEL and ROCKIT
GIRL bassist GINA CROSLEY. The group plans to head
into a Los<br>Angeles studio next week to record their
first album for punk label Epitaph Records.<br>"We're
hoping to make a South of France, AC/DC, fuck-off
record," says Love. The project<br>comes in the middle of
Love's legal tangle with Hole's label, Universal. On
February<br>28th she appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court for a
preliminary hearing in her effort<br>to sever ties with the
label. Universal had previously filed suit against Love
seeking<br>damages for five undelivered albums.
