STP were an all-female Punk/Alternative rock band formed in New York City, New York in 1990. They gained a loyal following thanks to their unique riffs and lyrics, rageful screaming, and powerful drumming.
History
[edit]1990-1990: Formation, short life & disbandment
[edit]The band was formed in 1990 by guitarist and singer Jacqui Burge (Dustdevils), guitarist Julie Cafritz (Pussy Galore/Action Swingers/Free Kitten), guitarist Melissa Huffsmith-Roth and drummer Sally Edroso (The Honeymoon Killers). Interestingly, their lineup features no bassist.
From the beginning, they were met with a speedy rise to success, embarking on a tour with the massive Sonic Youth for whom they opened a number of shows during the summer of 1990, along with Nirvana.[1] [2]
They released their first and only EP entitled "Smoke 'Em" in 1990.[3] It was produced by Kim Gordon, only helping to light a promising future for the band. It wasn't long until STP started to close in on a record deal. They were on the verge of signing to the famous Geffen Records, the label that helped with Nirvana's breakthrough and the Grunge explosion, when Julia Cafritz's boyfriend gave her a terribly unfortunate ultimatum.
Jacqui recalls:
“Her boyfriend told her it was him or the band and she chose him, I guess it was one of those burn bright and burn out things. But it was a really magical time, and as much as all the partying was life destroying, it was also life affirming.”[4]
After the members learned of the incident, they decided to disband and went on to succeed in different, separate projects.
