The New York Times described them as feminist, trashy, righteous, foul-mouthed and certainly fun.
About author(s): The Lunachicks released six albums and toured internationally for almost thirteen years.
For readers of Carrie Brownstein\'s Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl , Kim Gordon\'s Girl in a Band, and Chrissie Hynde\'s Reckless, Fallopian Rhapsody is the literary equivalent of diving headfirst into a moshpit and slowly but surely venturing up to the front of the stage.
Filled with never-before-seen photos, illustrations, and ephemera from the band\'s private archive, and featuring contributions from Lunachicks drummer Chip English, founding member Sindi B., and former bandmate Becky Wreck, Fallopian Rhapsody is a bawdy, gripping, warts-and-all account of how these city kids relied on their cosmic creative connection to overcome internal strife and external killjoys, all the while empowering legions of fans to shoot for the moon.
Depression, addiction, and identity crises loomed overhead, not to mention the barrage of sexist nonsense they faced from the music industry.
Together onstage they were invincible B-movie superheroes who kicked heaps of ass--but apart, not so much.
Yet beneath all the makeup, wigs, and hilarious outfits were three women struggling to grow into adulthood under the most unorthodox of conditions.
They toured with bands like the Go-Go\'s, Marilyn Manson, No Doubt, Rancid, and The Offspring; played the Reading Festival with Nirvana; and rocked the main stage at the Warped tour twice.
Their unforgettable costume-critiques of pop culture were as loud as their "Marsha[ll]" amps, their ferocious tenacity as lasting as their pre-internet mythology.
Over the course of thirteen-ish years, the Lunachicks brought their brand of outrageous hard-rockin\' rebelliousness around the world countless times, simultaneously scaring conservative onlookers and rescuing the souls of wayward freaks, queers, and outcasts.
They formed the Lunachicks at LaGuardia High School (of "Fame" fame) in the late \'80s and had a record deal with Blast First Records as teenagers, whisked into the studio by Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore.
More than that, this is a Story about the enduring friendship among the book\'s three central voices: Theo Kogan, Sydney Silver, and Gina Volpe.
Fallopian Rhapsody: The Story of the Lunachicks is a coming-of-age tale about a band of NYC teenagers who forged a sisterhood, found salvation, and fervently crashed the gates of punk rock during the \'90s, accidentally becoming feminist icons along the way.
