The Soviettes formed in the midst of a Minneapolis winter in 2000. Annie, Susy, Sturgeon and Danny immediately tore into recording.
In 2003 they released their self-titled debut on Adeline Records of Oakland, Calif. It was fuzzy, punky, striped, ballsy and made an impression in the Twin Cities and beyond.
LP II followed in 2004 and featured more bratty fast action songs with names like "#1 is Number Two" and "Pass the Flashlight." By this time the Soviettes had spread their love all over the Twin Cities, not to mention the Midwest and even parts of the West Coast.
Fat Wreck Chords of San Francisco noticed and signed the Soviettes in 2004. Their third full-length release is LP III and has been available since June 28, 2005.
The buzz surrounding The Soviettes continues to intensify as they tour with Against Me! and the Epoxies. Check the tour schedule for venues near you.
Annie, guitar
Annie is from Fargo, N.D. She played bass for The Hostages and International Robot. She also plays in a two-piece called the Awesome Snakes. Look for her in the middle with a beautifully-abused Fender Mustang.
Susy, bass
Susy also hails from Fargo. She played in two Fargo punk bands in the early 1990's called Vroom! and Bombshell. Rumor has it she is accident prone, so please be ready to catch her during their shows. Look for her on the left.
Sturgeon, guitar
Sturgeon is from Minneapolis. She is definitely not "vertically challenged." She is a math teacher at a small school in the Twin Cities. She was previously in a band called the Salteens and recently married Billy, guitarist of Dillinger Four. Look for her towering on the right.
Danny, drums
Danny is originally from Williamsport, P.A. He has a side project called International Robot -- ask him for some Vinyl proof of the side project?you won't regret it. Look for him in the back, flailing in whirl of sticks and crashing metal.
