Thelma and the Sleaze, for those not in the know, is an all-female queer southern rock band thatâ€s been around for almost a decade. While singer band center of gravity Lauren “LG” Gilbert doesnâ€t live in Nashville—she lives in Alabama as youâ€ll hear here—she long lived in Nashville and the band has deep roots here.

Thelma and the Sleaze has a number of records out, but right now theyâ€re touring around and supporting their album Fuck, Marry, Kill — which I think I refer to in this interview at least once as Fuck, Murder Kill. I accept responsibility for this bad—my bad, Iâ€m sorry, LG—but I to my credit, I donâ€t know if youâ€ve ever been in a room with LG but she is an absolute force and itâ€s hard to not feel / act like an idiot in the presence of this level of stardom. Honest to god, I donâ€t say so facetiously. It was difficult to keep level headed, sheâ€s so fucking cool. But we made it.
