This all-girl power punk trio isn't what you would expect - Formed in early 2002, The Dames - Ceizy(guitar), Thrashley (drums/vox), and Ms. Butcher (bass/vox) - demonstrate an unusual combination of heavy belligerence with melodic flair, cynical wit with blatant sincerity. These ladies will rock your world in every room of the house, clear out to the parking lot. While their energetic stage performance exhibits a "party hard and play harder" mentality, this tight, punchy three-piece's unapologetic style will ravage your ears with their mix of punk and rowdy rock n' roll. The result - an aggressive charm that is sure to haunt you. With a new album in the works, The Dames will be heading into the studio in early 2007 for the next chapter for a band that has kept a strong presence in the Phoenix punk scene for over four and a half years. Released October, 2004 - "Take A Number", the Dames' follow up to the 2003 EP "Sin and Tonic", earned the Dames rave reviews, "These ladies rock hard" (www.ffruk.com) and some going so far as to say that the trio "have truly captured the spirit of what Punk should be on this release" (SLAM Magazine), and the record was voted Album of the Year at Phoenix's 2005 SkaPunk Awards, followed by appearances at the Phoenix date of Warped tour and a gig at the birthplace of punk, CBGB in NYC. Birthed from the womb of the AZPunk.com community, they have won multiple awards including Best Female Band at the 2005 AIM Awards, and nominated as Best Punk Band two years in a row by the New Times' Annual Music Showcase; "Their knockout looks, only thinly veiled behind flailing hair and tattoos, have made them the sweethearts of the thriving Arizona punk scene." (Phoenix New Times, April 2004) More than just a pretty face - or three - this irreverent threesome will rock you with finesse and a style all their own.

They show no signs of slowing down, with songs two years running on AZPunk.coms Compilation Versions 2 and 3 and a recent nomination for Best Punk Band, the second year in a row, in the Phoenix New Times' Annual Music Showcase.
