About Me

»-(¯`v´¯)-»we just finished recording a 5-song demo for your listening enjoyment. if you want a copy of it please write to us and let us know. if you want to trade a mix cd or something else that you've recorded, drawn, painted, written or otherwise, we would love to trade.

gamine thief met in a dark chicago alley on a cold, rainy night. they mixed two sometimes friendly/sometimes fierce electric guitars with danceable, sharp toms and kick. they pulled in battling vocals with a political bent and a personal rage while things got really hott. they like books and girls and change and punk and film, maybe in that order. they are co-founders of girls rock! chicago, a summer camp for girls ages 9-16.
