The Frumpies


The Frumpies were an American lo-fi punk rock band formed in 1992 in Olympia, Washington. The original line-up consisted of singers/guitarists Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox, and Billy Karren, and Bratmobile drummer Molly Neuman. Their debut was the 7-inch single Alien Summer Nights on the Chainsaw Records label. Babies and Bunnies was recorded in 1993, with future Make-Up and Weird War bassist Michelle Mae signing on long enough to record "Tommy Slich."
After a two-year hiatus, the Frumpies reunited in 1996, releasing the EP Eunuch Nights. The CD collection Frumpie One Piece assembled all of the band's previous singles. The group's last release was the 2000 EP "Frumpies Forever."
