Taylor Momsen Filling “Gossip Girl”’s Romeo Void


I don’t watch Gossip Girl, and I am generally suspicious of the already-famous trying to leverage their celebrity in ways that result in them landing in the music business. That said, Pretty Reckless–the band fronted by 16-year-old GG starlet Taylor Momsen, which played its first show at the New York City club the Annex last night–is pretty decent; Momsen, looking like a refugee from the second stage at Lollapalooza ‘92, has a trembling wail that brings to mind Donita Sparks (although the keyboards on “Zombie,” above, are a little too close to those on “Separate Ways” for my comfort). After the jump, the decidedly spunkier “I Really Fuckin’ Love You,” a distant cousin of “Never Say Never” that could very easily slide into the soundtrack for the forthcoming Gossip Girl spinoff set in ’80s Los Angeles.

  1. spot on with the Donita-Lollapalooza ‘92 reference…the semi-decency of this is confusing me.

  2. All of a sudden I don’t think Ryan Gosling’s band is that bad.

  3. i don’t mind the first song.

    she kinda reminds me of a poor man’s jemina pearl though.
