We started in early 2005 out of a group of friends' love for a band called Betty Blowtorch. We began as a Riot Grrrl tribute band, saluting kick-ass bands Betty Blowtorch, L7, Joan Jett, Lunachicks and others. We swtiched to writing our own music in our second year, and were honored to be nominated for a SAMMIE (Sacramento Area Music Award) in 2008 for our efforts. We've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some awesome bands, such as Girl in a Coma, Killola, TAT, Fabulous Disaster, Go Betty Go, Semi Precious Weapons, and Von Iva, to name a few. We've played live on KDVS radio and done a halftime show with the Sac City Rollers roller derby. We guest DJ'd on KDVS, and did a video for the Sac Music Seen. It's been one hell of a ride! And we think 2009 is gonna kick some major ass, with lots of new songs and kickass shows in the works!
