Gore Gore Girls are pure garage rock band from Detroit, formed in 1997. The first line-up included Amy Surdu on vocals and guitar, Paula Regalado on bass guitar, and Jeff Klein on drums. Klein left before their first single was released.
The band's name comes from the title of a 1972 B-horror film and like fellow Detroit bands The White Stripes and The Detroit Cobras, the band started out struggling through the local club circuit before being discovered by independent record label Get Hip Records in 1998.
Their first full-length album Strange Girls, featured Surdu with Deanne Iovan on bass guitar and Deb Agolli on drums and vocals. Their latest touring line-up features Marlene Hammerle on additional guitar, Jen Pirch on bass guitar, and Nikki Styxx on drums.
