AC/DShe

Barely Appreciated

AC/DSHE

 
AC/DShe  is an all-female AC/DC tribute band.  The band, hailing from San Francisco, covers only pre-1980 AC/DC songs (thus those written while Bon Scott was still alive).  The band was created by Nicki Williams and Amy Ward in 1997.  AC/DShe has toured throughout the US and in Europe and performed at the AC/DC tribute festival in Wales in 2004.  They began getting significant media coverage in November 2001, with a feature in Details Magazine and have had national and international press since, alongside other gender-specific tribute acts such as Lez Zeppelin and Mandonna.  They were also featured in an article in Hustler magazine that covered all-female tribute bands.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Over the years, all three women – Tina Lucchesi, Dannielle Pimm and Elka Zolot – have been in a variety of bands, both during and after the Trashwomen period.  The three women along with Rusty Quan released a single under the name the Count Backwards; later, without Elka Zolot, the other three were members of the Bobbyteens.  Dannielle Pimm was in another purportedly all-girl band called the Brentwoods, though there was actually a man in the band as well.  Elka Zolot was in Bitch Fight before the formation of the Trashwomen and was later the guitarist for Eight Ball Scratch.  Tina Lucchesi was probably the busiest of the three; besides running Lipstick Records, she was also in several other bands, including Top Tenthe Glamour Pussiesthe Deadly Weapons, and AC/DShe.
