Start spreadin' the news: New York City's premier punk rockers, the Lunachicks, have returned to rally the freaks, liberate ladyparts, and save the goddamn world. Following the release of their acclaimed memoir Fallopian Rhapsody (Hachette Books), the band stormed back with their first live shows in 17 years--headlining the main stage at Punk Rock Bowling 2021, followed by sold-out shows at Webster Hall and a slot in the CBGB Fest lineup with Iggy Pop.From the stage to the page, the Lunachicks' story continues with the upcoming documentary Pretty Ugly: The Story of the Lunachicks, directed by Ilya Chaiken and slated for theatrical release in spring 2026, along with their first-ever best-of compilation, We Can Be Worster.Throughout the '90s and early '00s, the Lunachicks' hard-hitting hooks, gritty guitars, and pounding beats earned them a cult following stretching from the Bowery to Tokyo. Formed as teenagers at NYC's famed LaGuardia High School, the band set out to conquer the world like their idols The Ramones, Black Sabbath, Kiss, The Clash, and Blondie. After cutting their teeth at legendary clubs like CBGB and The Limelight, they caught the attention of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, leading to their 1990 debut Babysitters on Acid on London's Blast First Records.With each release, the Lunachicks gleefully dumped technicolor chaos on propriety, morality, and the patriarchy--but it was their live shows that cemented their legacy. A riot of wigs, costumes, makeup, and blaring guitars, their performances were equal parts spectacle, satire, and sheer musical power.Lunachicks released five studio albums, a live record, countless singles and videos, and appeared in films and compilations. They've shared stages with The Ramones, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, No Doubt, Rancid, NOFX, Buzzcocks, and The Go-Go's.Today, Theo (vocals), Gina (guitar), Squid (bass), and Chip (drums) remain a fearless, ferocious quartet-still loud, smart, and gloriously unhinged.
