This nyc band is made up of much more than a bunch of beautiful riot grrrls. They injoy 'gross-out' art, screaming, and that heavy punk element that you can only find in a girl band. Memembers include front women Theo, lead guitarist Gina, bass player Squid, and of-course on drums is the amazing Hellen. Prevous "chicks" were Sindi, who used to play guitar-Chip, who used to play drums-and Becky, who also used to play the drums.
So anyways..the story 'goes' that the lunachicks were found by Sonic Youth. They recomended the 'chicks' to Blast First Records-they produced there debut album, Babysitters On Acid...but this was barely recorded when it was released to the public. The lunachicks were sadly noticed only as a 'stage act'. After that, the 'chicks' produced Binge And Purge, which was a HUGE remarkable step up above there debut. And they soon developed a lasting crowd.
Other albums are, Jerk Of All Trades-Pretty Ugly-and Luxury Problem. The lunachicks also have a Live cd, and a viedo intitled XXX Naked.
Outside of Lunachicks, Squid moonlights as a tattoo artist, Theo works as a model and go-go dancer, Gina freelances as a graphic artist, and Chip builds props for TV commercials. They all also have a massive obsession for doughnuts---at warped tour they hired a rodie just to protect and buy there doughnuts.
There are always interesting facts on the chicks. The band supposedly started in gina's ocean-look-a-like bedroom because she wanted to start a band with fellow classmates. Theo is curently dating Sean of the toleit boys. The lunachicks new drummer, Hellen's cousin is fiona apple.
Now, the lunachicks went from the teased 80's style poo-brown hair and outfits, to the Tattooed-piercing-blue haired-whig-platform-surreal makeup and 'trashed' outfits that only the lunachicks are known for. All included with a hummorous/heavy sound that only they can get away with.
