saw it mentioned on Reddit earlier, but nothing official as of yet.

can't say I was a superfan or anything, but that one Nymphs album was pretty damn good.

:(

A lot of my friends who were involved with her musically are posting it.

Never heard of her before... I'll forever remember her as the woman who peed on Tom Zutaut's desk now:

Must be, though it was just a link I found. No idea what the rest of that site is or was.

I played the hell out of the Nymphs album BITD but, like L7 with 'the tampon incident', the music press could never get past Inger's 'desk incident' and give time to the actual music or call it for what it actually was: her protest against record label politics stifling her band. Time for me to give it another spin.

I know the name, and the band name too... but... don't recall knowing her that well.

Sad... we're all getting older... and after going to my 40th Class Reunion last night, this hits home.

They had a wall with all the obituaries on it... ugh... like 30-40 classmates, all gone... but not forgotten,

This rules.....

--------------
Inger's legacy remains haunted by the infamy of a band (the NYMPHS) that burned brightly all too briefly before imploding in a devastation of bereavement and misguided record company dealings.

In 1991, Inger famously climbed up on the desk of A&R man Tom Zutaut, hitched up her skirt and pissed on the paperwork and personal effects laid out on it. She later told LA Weekly that she felt Zutaut had been playing mind games for months, he'd put her first album on hold and hadn't allowed her to play for two years, and she was spiraling down in a depression that was both soothed and seduced by drugs. "So one day, I got really, really drunk," she recounted, "and I said to Jeff, our guitar player, 'You know, he's such a fucker. I should just walk in there and piss on his desk.' Jeff laughed — and I hadn't seen him laugh in months, we were so depressed. He said, 'You'd be my hero if you did.' So I drank a lot of beer and got totally inebriated so I would have the guts and a lot of pee in me… So when Zutaut said, 'Okay, send her in,' I was just like, fuck this, and I jumped up on his desk and was like, 'You fucked me over, you fucked my band, you're a fucker, how dare you keep me on hold,' and I pissed on his Rolodex, his phone, the photo of his wife, everything. But instead of screaming at me, he started to cry."

RIP Inger ;-(

Inger called up Jennifer FInch in like 2008 about opening for a Nymphs show at the Roxy. Jennifer was interested enough to do it with her current band, but Inger wanted it to be a reformed L7 to open up! Wtf. That was like asking Van Halen to reform to open up for Ratt.
