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. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver 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.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTheir unforgettable costume-critiques of pop culture were as loud as their \"Marsha ll]\" amps, their ferocious tenacity as lasting as their pre-internet mythology. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet beneath all the makeup, wigs, and hilarious outfits were three women struggling to grow into adulthood under the most unorthodox of conditions. Together onstage they were invincible B-movie superheroes who kicked heaps of ass--but apart, not so much. Depression, addiction, and identity crises loomed overhead, not to mention the barrage of sexist nonsense they faced from the music industry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled 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, \u003ci\u003eFallopian Rhapsody\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor readers of Carrie Brownstein's \u003ci\u003eHunger Makes Me a Modern Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, Kim Gordon's \u003ci\u003eGirl in a Band, \u003c\/i\u003eand Chrissie Hynde's \u003ci\u003eReckless, Fallopian Rhapsody \u003c\/i\u003eis the literary equivalent of diving headfirst into a moshpit and slowly but surely venturing up to the front of the stage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Lunachicks\u003c\/b\u003e released six albums and toured internationally for almost thirteen years.
