Formed in 1991 by Tina Lucchesi and Dannielle Pimm, and former Bitch Fight & later, Eight Ball Scratch guitarist, Elka Zolot, the band formed originally to perform a one-off show of Trashmen covers . Although Zolot was a skilled guitar player, Tina Lucchesi (drums) and Dannielle Pimm (bass) spent the four weeks before their premier show learning their instruments. The group quickly built a following in the San Francisco garage rock scene. The group’s debut 1993 album on Estrus, Spend the Night With the Trashwomen was described by Allmusic as “a straight-up raw release of sleazy rock & roll.” This was followed by a live album the following year and a third album in 1995, Trashwomen Vs. Deep Space , the latter two also released on German label Pin Up Records, which also issued the 1994 EP The Trashwomen Invade Chinatown . The band split up in 1997 after a tour of Japan , feeling that the band had run its course, but reunited in 2007 for a performance, staying together into 2008. The band described themselves as “the Queens of Tease Rock”.
