The Aquanettas
The Aquanettas were an all-female band from New York City that one New York Times writer said played "classic, basic rock-and-roll: just rugged guitar riffs and lyrics about the more bothersome aspects of romance".〔Schoemer, Karen ( In Rocking East Village, The Beat Never Stops ) New York Times article. Published: June 8, 1990〕 Their music was influenced by classic rock such as Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as X, mixed with surf rock overtones. The band was formed in the late 1980s in New York City, New York by vocalist Deborah Schwartz and Jill Richmond along with bassist Claudine Troise and drummer Stephanie Seymour. The Aquanettas toured nationally and secured a record deal with Canadian record label Nettwerk Productions who also distributed their recordings through IRS Records in the United States. They released one album for IRS/Nettwerk, two Independent EPs and release three singles before breaking up in 1995.
==The Aquanettas (1987-1995)==
Lead vocalist Deborah Schwartz had moved from Voorheesville, NY to Manhattan in January 1986〔Kahn, Brenda (WomanRock ) Interviews
Debby Schwartz〕 after spending 3 months in Los Angeles, California where she met guitarist Jill Richmond. Schwartz began her career in NYC with the experimental/performance art group The Summit Ensemble and when Richmond moved to NYC one year later she re-hooked up with Schwartz and together they formed The Aquanettas along with bassist Claudine Troise and drummer Stephanie Seymour. It is reported that the band took their name from actress Burnu Acquanetta, who supposedly attended a Phoenix, Arizona show in 1990.
When the band played the New Music Seminar in NYC they signed a deal with Canadian record label Nettwerk Productions〔Parks, Trey (music-reviewer.com ) review of Debby Schwartz solo CD and interview. July 1998〕 (who distributed their albums through IRS Records in the United States) and toured nationally, including being a support act for Nine Inch Nails. Called ''a seminal all-female group from the early '90's'' by some writers,〔(The Inventures ) overview of the band ''Birdy'', drummer Stephanie Seymour's band after The Aquanettas.〕 singer Joan Osborne has covered their songs in concert〔Farber, Jim (NY Daily News ) ''A Night of Full-Blown Joan in her New York Homecoming, Osborne sings Loud and Proud'' April 22, 1996〕 and is a fan, so much so she would later make Deborah Schwartz her first signing on her ''Womanly Hips'' label.〔(Rolling Stone )''Joan Osborne Signs Artists To Her Label'' November 22, 1997〕 After being dissatisfied with the lack of promotion that IRS Records was giving the band they asked to be let go and toured Europe on their own in support of their Indy releases. Jill Richmond would later say she became fond of using a certain slang term used for describing female genitalia while on tour in Great Britain.〔Goldman, Andrew (The New York Observer ) ''No C-Word, Please, We're American! Brits Export Last Linguistic Taboo'' April 4, 1999〕 Their single, "Mind Full of Worry" is included on the soundtrack of Hal Hartley's 1994 film, Amateur and in 1996 a remix of their song "Beach Party" was included on the soundtrack for the feature film (Kissed ), which was distributed by MGM in the United States.
