Dickless


Dickless was a Seattle-based grunge rock band signed to Sub Pop records in. Dickless is notable for their unique growling shrieking vocal style. Kelly Canary, the original vocalist, had a distinct growling scream that lead the quartet through short and loud live performances.
During their first few years, their loud and abrasive sound was new and unusual for an all-female music group. Simultaneously, their short discography included song titles and a song cover, "I'm a Man" by Bo Diddley, that were blatantly ironic given their abrasive sound and female members. The band name itself is meant to be satire.
The group's period of activity coincided with the emerging "Riot grrrl" music culture.

History

The original lineup consisted of Lisa Buckner, Kelly Canary, Jana McCall, Kerry Green. Lisa Buckner was soon replaced by Lisa Smith from Atomic 61 on drums.
