Annie-Summer Hardy (born June 5, 1981) is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for the American rock act Giant Drag. Previously signed to Interscope Records, she was voted one of ''NMEs "50 Coolest People," and has received major news coverage in ''NME'', ''Spin'', MTV News and ''Rolling Stone'', among others. She started her own record label October 2012 launching Full Psycho Records, TV & Crafts in a soft launch. She is known for her quick-witted stage persona and retorts to insults (Hardy has said, "As long as I get the last laugh, I'm fine"), and for the explicit titles of some of her songs, such as "You Fuck Like My Dad" (which was shortened to "YFLMD") and "My Dick Sux" (though the lyrical content of the actual songs is not as blatantly explicit). == Early life == Hardy grew up mostly in San Clemente, a city in Orange County, California. Her mother is Molly Hardy, a part-time playwright and director. When Hardy was younger, she acted in one of her mother's plays. She got her first guitar when she was in the sixth grade, but attempts at getting lessons failed. In the tenth grade, Hardy went to a boarding school in Ojai of which she says, "There was nothing to do there. I was acting there and I was in the choir."〔 It was there that she met another girl who also had a guitar. According to Hardy, "Her Dad was teaching her Beatles songs. So we learned how to play together. I learned a lot by studying piano books that had chord charts. I bought some rock books. Around then I learned how to play and sing at the same time."〔 After high school, Hardy did extra work for money and pursued a musical career. In 1999, she moved to Los Angeles. At some point, Hardy worked as a DJ at Beauty Bar. Hardy continued looking for band members and was involved in many potential bands, including Mein Coif, with friends Mike Felix (now drummer of Toys That Kill) and Max Humphrey (bassist of The Adored). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annie Hardy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
