Casting herself as the leading-lady in her autobiographical musical story about Love, Kevin Blechdom takes a vulnerable head-first dive into the contradictions and desperation of human emotion and knowing people. Completely naked, she shares her emotional confusion openly. Kevin sings pop music. Kevin sings love songs. But Kevin's love is a rollercoaster of emotional extremes. Eat My Heart Out is a dense musical journey of contrasting styles, surprises, and heart-ache. Her songwriting is fragmented and diverse, but her raw emotion and voice remains on top as the connecting thread: from hyper-MIDI computer frenzies to tragic ballads, from pirate shanties to self-help anthems, from country songs to songs she recorded and wrote on laughing gas. She puts songs together like Legos. The CD also contains a bonus 13-minute movie by Kevin Blechdom and Lucile Desamory called Countdown to Nothing.

Kevin Blechdom is Kristin Erickson, who moved to Berlin after 5 busy years in San Francisco. While in the San Francisco area, she attended Mills College, founded a band called Blectum From Blechdom, toured the world playing music, and released records on Tigerbeat6, Deluxe, Orthlorng Musork, Shimmy Disc, Four States Fair, Unbearable, Dial(), and Phthalo. Kevin Blechdom plays two laptops, a red strap-on MIDI keyboard, a red banjo, and sings songs. Bitches Without Britches is her first full-length computer/pop record and her debut for Chicks On Speed Records. It contains a totally refreshing and so far unheard mixture of computer pop, banjo-songwriting, weird noises, explicit lyrics and a heartbreaking cover version of Tina Turner's "Private Dancer." The CD is accompanied by a magnificent booklet with one original Kevin Blechdom drawing for each track.
