Caroline Rue: 1989-1991
There's Caroline drumming away in the background..
Not much is known about Caroline Rue. She joined Hole in the beginning,
and did all the drum work for their debut album, Pretty on the Inside. As is shown on the
record, she was a talented and powerful drummer, and exhibited this in early LA shows that Hole
played. However, her career in Hole was short-lived. Soon after the release of Pretty on the
Inside, Caroline left for unknown reasons, and whether the leave was peaceful or because of
tension, I don't know. It is also unknown whether Caroline continued to persue a musical career
or took a different track. However, Caroline was in the band from the beginning and helped Hole
dig their roots into the music scene at that time, and was a vital part of the development of the
band. She is often unappreciated and many written histories of the band fail to recognize her as
the important figure she was.
