The Super Heroines was a deathrock trio formed in Los Angeles, California during the early 1980s. However, unlike other early deathrock bands such as Christian Death and 45 Grave, Super Heroines did not carry on a traditional Goth sound, instead a more punk style metal inspired by The Runaways. Its original lineup featured Eva O, Sandra Ross, and Del Mar Richardson. Other members of the group have included bassists Jill Emery and Edwin Borsheim. As well as drummers Steve Darrow and Cathy Falanga. Both Jill Emery and Eva O went on to play with Rozz Williams in his next band, Shadow Project, during the 1990s. Eva O also played in Christian Death in the early 1980s and is currently the vocalist for Christian Death 1334, a touring and recording version of Christian Death with the members of the Only Theatre of Pain album.
