the pagan babies were a short-lived american rock band from san francisco , california , formed by kat bjelland and courtney love circa late 1985 .
bjelland , who later became the frontwoman for the successful rock band , babes in toyland , and love , who later became the frontwoman of the successful alternative rock band hole , had already been members in an unsuccessful project , sugar babydoll , who were based in portland , oregon and played a similar musical style to the pagan babies .
the band only lasted a few months , and only in their career played two shows at house parties , which were described as little more than `` hanging out and having fun . ''
