From Riot Grrrls to Lilith, the '90s were heady times for queer girls.

After finding success in Europe, the rock group K's Choice, founded by Belgian siblings Sarah and Gert Bettens, began catching fire in the U.S. in the mid-'90s. Their 1996 hit "Not an Addict" still receives regular airplay and helped get the band booked on tours with Alanis Morissette, the Indigo Girls, and as part of Lilith Fair. After taking a lot of time off to pursue families and solo projects, the group is returning stateside, with two albums just released in the U.S. and wrapping up a tour with dates in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City. We spoke with Sarah, who's smoky voiceBillboard compared to Sarah McLachlan's, about how this out European rock star is adapting to her quiet life in the American South.
