Red Aunts
Summary
The Red Aunts were an all-female punk band that formed in 1991 in Long Beach, California when Terri Wahl recruited friends Kerry Davis and Debi Martini . Wahl would become the guitarist, sharing vocal duties with Davis who also played rhythm guitar and Martini as bassist. Wahl's husband, Jon Wahl of the band Claw Hammer stood in as drummer under the alias Joan Whale until he was replaced full-time by Leslie Ishino .
None of the women had formal musical training or previous experience in bands. They received slight help from both Scott Drake of fellow Long Beach band, the Humpers and Jon Wahl. Dip put out the punk fanzine, "Real Life in a Big City," and it was her connections through this zine that helped promote the band. The Red Aunts rapidly developed their own sound, going from raw simple punk to more complicated garage-punk-blues within the space of their seven years and five full length albums. They disbanded in 1998. Singer Terri Wahl invested in a cupcake shop in Los Angeles and other members have gone on to work with other bands like The Screws, Beehive and the Barracudas and others. Singer and guitarist Kerry Davis currently records under the name Two Tears.
