1983-84


Spring 1983- Chris Horne (guitar) wants to form an all-girl band named "The Brood". Later that year she meets Betsy Mitchell at a local club called "It's Magic" where Betsy's boyfriend is playing. Betsy gets a Mosrite bass and they get together to learn a couple of songs. Chris has a Burns Baldwin guitar, so Betsy later gets a matching Burns Baldwin bass guitar. By early April 1984, they get Kathy Wagner on vocals and on May 30, Kristen Chalmers joined on organ. On July 16, 1984, the group auditions drummer Cassie Bean on stage at Geno's on an off-night, and everything clicked. The band was formed. Geno's would be their home-base.
