The Rockhouse knows nothing about PJ Harvey except she does creditable rock and we're going to love any woman who is hammering out major power chords while she stands there in a shirt, particularly when it's live instead of a studio.
As to singing with goats, that's back a few articles.
The Silas had a Gibson Firebird way back but it wasn't the axe for me. It had Humbucker sound and great sustain but the balance and scale weren't it for me. That eventually evolved to a Stratocaster and finally the Godin xtSA about fifteen years ago or so.
I just took a look and the xtSA has come down one hundred and sells for $900 at Musician's Friend: Godin xtSA Flame Electric Guitar Light Burst
I had one just like her and the neck from that guitar was sacrificed to save the Galaxy Guitar whose neck had been broken in one of the most savage accidents which ever befell me. The move is a known guitar killer but you only have to do it once and I hooked it with the cord when it was in the stand which pulled it face down to the asphalt since I was playing outside. Making it yet worse, the pickups were still hot so there was a sound like you never want to hear in your life when she hit.
That Galaxy Guitar is sitting behind me as I type.
Go ahead on, young lady. Kick ass with that guitar and I'm picking up kind of a Pretenders vibe in it which is excellent for keeping that spirit alive. We hear lots about feminism but you know who really did it, don't you.

Yep and Grace Slick before her. Prior to Grace Slick, all the female singers were good girls so society tried to segue from Doris Day to Grace Slick and it did the natural thing as a result: it banned her.
Note: maybe you remember the uproar over "Copkiller" but nothing much happened whereas Jefferson's Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" was banned in some places although fortunately not in California at the time. I was stunned to learn when we got to Cincinnati, the record was banned for sale there.
This trail started way back and keep it alive, PJ Harvey. Anyone can play in a studio but only pros take it to the stage or at least stay alive there.
