In an interview with Bust, Courtney Love revealed how she searched for a new bassist to play on her upcoming solo album.

“I put an ad on Craigslist that said, ‘Band in the style of Hole looking for bassist in the style of Melissa Auf der Maur,'” she said.

“I got exactly one response. There’s just not a lot of chick bass players.”

Consequence of Sound point out that the new album is likely going to be called Died Blonde and that, while she’s referring to it as a solo album, it’s the same basic line-up behind Hole’s 2010 reunion.

As she tells Bust, “My name symbolizes a lot of things, and I have to sit in these rooms with lawyers and be called a ‘brand’ often, so I was just like, ‘fucking name it after me!’ I don’t care.”
