SUFFRAJETT, fronted by the devastatingly provocative front woman Simi, is teaming up with the renowned Juliette and The Licks lead by Juliette Lewis, another unstoppable force of nature, for a nationwide tour that is sure to leave audiences breathless. SUFFRAJETT's innovative gang of delinquents—Simi (vocals), Jason Chasko (guitar), Kevin Roberts (bass), and Danny Severson (drums)—continue to tour tirelessly in support of Black Glitter out now in the U.S. on indie upstart label Cobra Music/Fontana.
Described as raw, low-fi Afro-punk, garage glam, art punk, mental rock, garage rock and grunge hair metal, it's clear that SUFFRAJETT has carved out a place that's entirely their own and defies description. This innovative gang of delinquents has earned an abundance of rabid accolades from critics and fans alike, including wide critical acclaim for their latest CD Black Glitter.
"Grads of the Joan Jett/ Mötley Crüe School of Rock, the Chicago band's sophomore effort is the raw, hair metal-heavy soundtrack for a drunken fight in a pool hall. Watch your back."
–Blender, February 2007–
Originally formed by Simi, guitarist Chasko (who co-wrote Liz Phair's whitechocolatespaceegg) and bassist Roberts in New York, SUFFRAJETT unearthed drummer Severson once the band made to move to Chicago. The band has previously spent their share of time on the road with MC5, The Eagles of Death Metal, Electric Six, Local H and The River Boat Gamblers.
