Bambix was founded in 1988 by Wick Bambix (Willia van Houdt) as an all-women band. The name “Bambix” comes from a manufacturer of baby food in the Netherlands. Wick had the idea to form a band, and put ads in various newspapers to find other band members. Wick has said that, being a woman in punk, she has had lit cigarettes thrown at her hair on stage, as well as overt threats of rape. Over the years, as band members left and were replaced, Bambix has evolved from an all-women band to a woman-fronted band. Wick is the primary songwriter.
