The Degenerettes are a queer art rock power trio from Baltimore, MD. The all-girl group, originally formed in a Baltimore basement in 2005, brings together three magnates of Baltimore's DIY art and music scenes. In addition to performing in rock clubs, warehouses, and galleries on the East Coast, The Degenerettes collaborate with The Miss America Puppet Show, and are among the subjects of Riot Acts, an indie doc on transgender musicians due for release in 2009. Bad Girls Go To Hell was recorded in a Baltimore warehouse and was mixed and mastered by Rob Girardi at Lord Baltimore Recording.
Influenced by years on the garage rock, soul, roots, and punk rock scenes along with obsessive movie-watching, The Degenerettes' bass-driven jangly fuzz guitar sounds combine with Rahne Alexander’s literary, often humorous songwriting, creating multiple narrative universes—from torrid mummy love affairs to teenybopper spies to Baltimore streets. They are the soundtrack of the Velvet Underground and the Runaways on a big gay double date at a midnight movie.
Rahne Alexander (guitar, vocals, songwriting) is a musician, writer and multimedia artist. She is on staff with the Maryland Film Festival and the Charm City Kitty Club queer cabaret. Her video art has screened in galleries and film festivals across the country, and she is a frequent contributor to publications including City Paper and Smile Hon You're In Baltimore.
Kristen Anchor (drums) is the director of Creative Alliance MovieMakers, where she curates screenings and produces programs to support local filmmakers. She is a co-founder of the award-winning queer cabaret Charm City Kitty Club and is the creator of the performance duo Monster Drummer Thunderupagus. Her video/installation work has screened in theaters and galleries all over the US.
Chrissy Howland (bass) also fronts the bands Jack Chick and Scout, and plays bass in Mr. Moccasin. She is the creator of the pink painting series "The Howland Underground" and is a featured actor in several independent films.

About FTM Book Vol. 1 FTM Book Vol 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life is an easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive primer on FTM issues such as:
What is an FTM? How do FTMs see themselves? Appearance Stages in Transition Surgeries Available Common Personal Histories Violence Discrimination Health Issues Counseling Relationships Common Legal Issues
We've worked hard to help create definitions that will help you talk about trans issues with others, including terms for body parts unique to the FTM and by naming the stages of transitioning. This book is great for anyone who who is having trouble understanding the lifestyle or choices of a transperson. When we first began dating, we were shocked that there was no one place that Aaron could turn to show me "See, this explains what being an FTM means." We hope that this book will be a good start.
Best of all, when you order FTM Book Vol. 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life you can feel good knowing that sales of the book are being used to fund more research to help FTMs and their partners get through the challenges of their lives. This is a great book for youself and for anyone you know who could use a little more understanding. Also, you can help teach others about trans issues by donating copies to your local high schools, colleges, LGBT centers and libraries.
