Julia Shapiro of Chastity Belt, Stacy Peck of Pony Time, and Bree

Julia Shapiro of Chastity Belt, Stacy Peck of Pony Time, and Bree McKenna of Tacocat all decided to get together, slip on some maternity ward gowns, and form a band. The result is Childbirth—a slackadaisical riot grrl party machine with song titles like “Crossbitch” and “Menopause.”

The group’s first single, “I Only Fucked You As A Joke,” is pretty self-explanatory. Shapiro sings about late night mistakes and hoping she isn’t pregnant over a punk number that sounds like Elastica shambling out of a dumpster (in a good way). In the music video, phalloguitar thrusting, sculptural hole exploring at Volunteer Park and skateboarding ensues.

If you are a fan of any of the member’s three other bands, chances are you will dig Childbirth a lot.

The band’s debut, IT’S A GIRL!, is slated to come out January 7th on Help Yourself Records, the local imprint responsible for Chastity Belt’s No Regerts.
