What I've heard of Laura Veirs sounds great, and Jill Sobule comes with a great biog:
"For more than a decade Jill Sobule has been one of Pop Music's greatest subversive writers. Her songs have poked fun at lesbian chic, celebrity obsession and production line pop babes. They have also dealt with drug abuse, anorexia and America's Christian Fundamentalist movement, although always in her inimitable light hearted poppy style. After dropping out of college and formed her first band. After a spell working at a local restaurant, she moved to New York and got a record deal. Whilst waitressing in New York in between recording, she served Madonna and Sandra Bernhardt who she described as "a horrible couple who didn't even leave me a tip" and got the idea for "Kissed a Girl". A jab at America's fascination with lesbianism, the song accidentally became an MTV hit. Now on the brink of releasing her 5th album, "Underdog Victorious", Jill is recognised as a witty, quirky lyricist and singer and an excellent guitar player, as well as recently starring in The West Wing!"
