In 2003, The Soviettes released the first album, entitled LP, on Adeline Records of Oakland, California. The album's sound was described as "fuzzy, punky, stripped, and ballsy." In 2004, the band released their second album, entitled LP II, again on Adeline Records. LP II was described as having "more bratty, fast-action" songs. The band was then noticed by Fat Wreck Chords in San Francisco, California and was shortly after signed with the label. The band released the song Paranoia! Cha-Cha-Cha for the Fat Wreck Chords compilation album Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1. On June 28, 2005, the band's third and final album, entitled LP III, was released on Fat Wreck Chords. On November 15, 2005, LP was re-released by Crustacean Records.
In the last half of 2005, The Soviettes toured with Against Me!, The Epoxies, and Smoke or Fire on their first tour under the Fat Wreck Chords label.
The Soviettes have been on haitus since early 2006 due to the stress of touring constantly. Susy has since moved to California while Annie and Danny formed the band Awesome Snakes who played their last show on March 19, 2010 in St. Paul, Minesota.
Blue Star
The Soviettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You grab that knife and you turn it into art now
You're telling me that you don't believe
You fall asleep
You'll see that same thief, right?
The colors running and the snow is falling all around
You gotta go and the silence can't help you now
You're painting those blue stars on your wall
Walking home, autumn nights
I look above and what do I see
Blue stars, cold, clear, and bright
I don't know why I didn't leave when they said go
Blue stars, they're out tonight
Take me from the dark blue, let me go to the dark red
I got a feeling and here comes the light ahead
You're writing those blue stars in your book
The sun is rising and here comes the hook

One of the best shows I ever saw was the Soviettes at Danny's barn in Las Cruces. There was spaghetti. I fed a horse some carrots all drunk.
