As teenagers, NYC’s legendary punk band, Lunachicks, made a name for themselves in hallowed local clubs like CBGB and The Limelight, where they caught the attention of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. In 1990, London-based record label Blast First released the Lunachicks’ debut album, Babysitters on Acid. Five studio CDs, a live album and countless singles later the ever touring Lunachicks saw themselves sharing the stage with such bands as The Ramones, The Offspring, Marilyn Manson, Rancid, NOFX, and The Go-Go’s and playing festivals such as The Reading festival and Warped Tour. Since the departure of rhythm guitarist Sindi in 1997, the Lunachicks have remained a quartet. Theo, Gina, Squid, and Chip (their drummer since 1994) honed their skills and matured into a tight sonic outfit without ever losing their satirical edge. The Lunachicks’ touring days ended in 2001 reuniting once in 2004 to play with Joan Jett in DC for “The March For Women’s Lives”. Since their hiatus, the band members have kept busy Theo recorded and toured with her band, "Theo and the Skyscrapers.” Gina Volpe formed and fronted her power trio Bantam, then continued on as a solo artist who is currently releasing new music. In early 2020 Lunachicks announced a reunion but their plans for playing live again were sidelined by the pandemic and their shows were rescheduled for 2021 and 2022. Lunachicks have also recently published a memoir entitled, "Fallopian Rhapsody" (Hachette Books).
