Item Description
Melissa York has been keeping time for iconic lesbian bands as the drummer for The Butchies and Team Dresch. Both bands were integral in the riot grrl scene of the '90s, as they were arguably the queerest groups that were initially part of the movement. Their albums like Personal Best and Are We Not Femme? spoke directly to lesbian listeners, but appealed to fans of punk rock and queercore all around.
Since the disbanding of both groups, Melissa has made a name for herself in the trio Ex-Members and playing as the tour drummer for Amy Ray. When she's back home in Durham, North Carolina, she's part of a folk-rock group in Durham, North Carolina called Humble Tripe, which just released their debut album on 307 Knox Records.
