about
San Francisco based bluesy psychedelic punk band of the mid/late 80's fronted by female punk scene icon Meri St. Mary. They released a debut LP/Cassette on Subterranean Records in 1987, toured the US shortly afterwards (partly on Jagermeister's dime) and dissolved into a mysterious drug addled heap circa 1989. A second album was recorded, and made it as far as the test pressing phase, but the label went broke before it was released. Where Are They Now: Original guitarist Eric 'Rad' Yuncker died onstage after being electrocuted at the Mabuhay Gardens in 1986. Replacement guitarist Jay Crawford who played on the band's only released album, joined up with acid grunge act Bomb, and made several more records with them into the early 90's. Former Elvin Bishop drummer Michel Schorro works with guitarist Crawford both employed by a European appliance manufacturer. Singer Meri St. Mary had a child with Bruce Lose of Flipper and moved out of San Francisco to Grass Valley California where she is a radio DJ on KVMR. Before moving to San Diego, Saxophonist Bob Bartosik played occasionally with Flipper, Life After Life, Rhythm Pigs, & The Faraway Brothers (featuring Eric McFadden). He also contributed to the indie film soundtracks of "Mary Jane Is Not A Virgin Anymore" 1997 (Sundance Film Fest) and the 2004 documentary "Hubert Selby Jr.: It'll Be Better Tomorrow". Occasional harmonica player Lemon DeGeorge was featured in the Oscar winning documentary "Ghengis Blues" featuring Paul Pen
