If the Go-Go’s and The Sex Pistols hooked up at an all-night rock n’ roll party and had a love child, it might sound a lot like The Catchelorettes — the all-girl pop-punk band from Chicago.
The H Girl: Lead Guitar Heather was raised by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart after a hippie couple dumped her to the side of the road in 1976. After inspiring the song “Alone”, she left Heart to form her own group in 1980 — the aptly titled “The Bleeding Heart Band”. After conducting a string of semi-successful high school marching bands in South Texas, she went on to found “The Catchelorettes” in 2006.
Jenny Jeronimo: Lead Vocals, Guitar A good sorority girl gone bad, Jenny Jeronimo honed her singing talent after being she was forced into hard labor on the railway in 1992 for a crime she didn’t commit. JJ was found disoriented and bleeding from the nose at a Dave Matthews Band concert in 2007 by Amber & The H Girl and taken into safety to become the lead singer of “The Catchelorettes.”
Amber from the Boldt: Bass Amber was born in Alaska to a group of renegade sea-monkey poachers. She grew up in Denali National Park where she learned how to play the electric bass by a musically inclined pack of bears. She emerged from the wilderness at age 7 and has been rocking ever since.
DJ Woods: Drums DJ was born in Tokyo in 1980 and raised by a band of rock n’ roll ninjas. In 1985 she decided to trade in her nun chucks in for a pair of drumsticks. She now uses her mystic powers of drumming for the good of mankind, and of course to obtain tasty fair-trade cheese curds.
