Courtney Love says that she's dropping the band name Hole, and will henceforth write, record, and perform as a solo artist. She revealed this in the comments section of the Facebook page for Mark Yarm's excellent grunge history book, Everybody Loves Our Town.
The original incarnation of Hole was active between 1989 and 2000, and broke up officially in 2002. Love released one album as a solo artist, America's Sweetheart, but that record flopped upon its release in 2004. Too bad, really, because it had some really great songs on it, like "But Julian, I'm A Little Bit Older Than You."
