Lori Barbero (born November 27, 1961) is the drummer for the Minneapolis-based band Babes in Toyland.[1] She subsequently played drums for the bands Eggtwist and Koalas.[2]
Biography
Barbero was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the age of fourteen, her father moved the family to New York City, where she attended high school, graduating in 1978.[3] After high school, Barbero moved to Key West, Florida before returning to Minneapolis.
Before Babes in Toyland, Barbero dropped out of the University of Minnesota and worked as a waitress.[4] She had never played any musical instrument before but had always wanted to learn to play drums, and she did when Kat Bjelland asked her to start a band with her.[5] After the dissolution of Babes in Toyland in the early 2000s, Barbero worked as a music manager.
She was also part owner of the now defunct Minneapolis label Spanish Fly Records, whose roster included Smut, Dumpster Juice, Milk, REO Speedealer, Sleep Capsule, and Likehell.[6]
In 2006, Lori was awarded with an Artist of Distinction award by Sound Unseen for her continuous contribution to the Minneapolis Rock and Roll scene.
