Bratmobile

Bratmobile was an American punk band, that were active between 1991 and 1994. They reformed in 1998 and continued until 2003. Bratmobile was a first-generation "riot grrrl" band, which grew from the Pacific Northwest and Washington state underground. It was influenced by several eclectic musical styles, including elements of pop, surf, and garage rock. Originally founded by Allison Wolfe (from Olympia, Washington) and Molly Neuman (from Washington, D.C.), who first met each other, whilst studying Women Studies & Music at the University of Oregon. The band played its first show as a two-woman act at Olympia's North Shore Surf Club on February 14, 1991, with Neuman and Wolfe sharing duties on guitar, drums, and vocals. The group later became full time when Erin Smith, the guitarist, joined the band.
