The GUTTER QUEENS have a fantastic Media Presence including several TV-appearances, Radio Shows and Radio Interviews all over the world and get compared to bands like the STOOGES, BORED!, HANOI ROCKS and of course the NEW YORK DOLLS, which are one of their all time Faves. Furthermore they count MÖTLEY CRÜE, TURBONEGRO or GUNS N ROSES to their Influences. But they're much more than another band in the global Rock n Roll Circus. They have the guts to take the best there is in Music, fresh it up and approve it with their own style.
Originally founded in spring 1992 the band released two Demos: In 1995 the Tape ROCKAHOLE - under their old band name JUVENILE CRIME - and in fall 1997 with the name change to GUTTER QUEENS the CD BORN TO BE CHEAP. Both releases have sold out in a short time.
After some line-up changes they recorded four Songs in Summer / Fall 2000 at the ARTAG STUDIO in ZURICH with Co-Producer and Engineer VOCO FAUXPAS for their first official Releases. Voco has a great reputation in the swiss music scene and has worked with lots of national or international bands like YOUNG GODS, CELTIC FROST, CORONER, TREMPONEM PAL and many more.
The first official Release was a beautiful 7inch Vinyl Single on SHEEP RECORDS - an Indie-Label from Zurich. It came out in October 2000 with the following Songs: TEENAGE WASTELAND vs. GET GLAMED WITH ROCK'N'ROLL. The second Release on the same Label is the kick-ass rocking CD-EP HOT IN HOLLYWOOD, where all those four songs will be availabe at once.Tracklist: Hot in Hollywood, Get Glamed with Rock'n'Roll, Teenage Wasteland and Suffragette City (Bowie-Cover). The CD Release Party in August 2001 was something quite special: Presented by the POPKREDIT of Zurich under the direct authority of the City's Minister. It was a great honour for the GUTTER QUEENS and generated even a larger popularity. Not many bands get this Approval.
Besides touring and gigging on a regular basis they make plans for the future. This millennium will definitely be a massive GUTTER QUEENS era. The first official FULL-LENGTH. is in progress.
The Fanbase is growing constantly and rapidly. Also a lot of worldwide MANAGEMENTS, BOOKERS and LABELS show big interest in the GUTTER QUEENS. Those contacts lead to various contributions to compilations - for instance the infamous A FISTFUL OF ROCK N ROLL series initiated by Sal Canzonieri of ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN. The band will be on VOLUME 13 among collegues as TOILET BOYS, BLACK HALOS and LAZY COWGIRLS (release end 2002). The GUTTER QUEENS contributet also songs for samplers around the world, from Japan to the UK, from Switzerland to the US. Their songs are also likely to be chosen for Soundtracks to Extreme Sport-Videos in the USA.
Everywhere the GUTTER QUEENS climb up a stage the audience loves them dearly and deeply, they intrigue and impress with their Style and Sound. They attract a lot of people and fill even big Venues. This Story began in 1999 at the AUDITORIUM FLOG in Firenze / Italy with more than 1.500 crazed Teenager in the crowd to see them as the only Act that night. All over Europe they spread their seed such in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, UK, Italy and Switzerland - they all love the sleazy GLAM SLUT ROCK of the GUTTER QUEENS.
Legendary Headliner slots at popular venues is a common thing for them. The GUTTER QUEENS are DRESSED TO KILL and true ROCK SLUTS. They surely will have a bright Future.
