Lunachicks
Legend has it that New York's Lunachicks were rescued from a life of streetgangs, drinking, idolatry and terrorism against humanity by being discovered by Sonic Youth, who recommended the all-girl band to Blast First Records so vociferously that the Lunachicks’ debut BABYSITTERS ON ACID was barely recorded before it was let loose upon an unsuspecting public. The ‘not-at-all-nice-girls’ turned their rebellious behaviour into a stage act. Becky (drums), Squid Sid (bass), Gina (lead guitar) and Sindi (guitar) were the musicians with a taste for excessive volume. Theo was the singer with a prediliction for blood-splattered wedding gowns. The Lunachicks can only be described as ‘different’.
