Schemel played drums on Hole's second critically acclaimed album, "Live Through This" (1994). She went on to tour with the band for the promotion of "Live Through This", which featured dates at the Reading Festival, Big Day Out and Lollapalooza. While on tour in April 1995, Schemel became the first woman ever to appear on the cover of "Drum World" magazine. Schemel publicly came out in a 1995 band interview with "Rolling Stone", commenting: "It's important" and that she's "not out there with that fucking pink flag or anything but it's good for other people who live somewhere else in some small town who feel freaky about being gay to know that there's other people who are and that it's OK." Schemel's girlfriend, Stacey, at the time worked as Courtney Love's personal assistant during Hole's 1994–1995 world tour, while promoting "Live Through This".
