  • Patty Schemel on How to Tell Your Life Story
    November 6, 2017 - Patty Schemel is an American drummer, songwriter, and comedian best known for her work with the band Hole. She is on the board of the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls in California, a non-profit organization that teaches girls all over the world that it's okay to be loud. She continues to perform, teach, and tour, currently with the band Upset, and lives in Los Angeles with her wife and daughter. Here she discusses the process of writing her memoir, Hit So Hard, and the ways that making music has been a source of healing in her life. As told to T. Cole Rachel, 1994 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration, Process, Anxiety, Adversity, Identity. Patty Schemel on how to tell your life story You’ve had a documentary made about your life, and were also asked to write a book about it. The documentary came about because I had a bunch of hi-eight videotapes—tons of stuff from the Hole, Nirvana heyday, stuff from my private life—and a friend said, “You have to digitize that, because it’s going to dissolve.” It had already started to dissolve. At the time my wife worked in film and TV, and she set up a dubbing deck. While we were doing that, one of our friends, David, came over, he’s a director, and he saw some of the footage. Christine was telling him about it and they were like, “You should do something with this.” So that’s how the film started. It was cool because I’m a fan of music docs and I love seeing the archival footage.
