TX gender warriors, Raunchy Reckless and the Amazons, first passed from the spiritual realm into the physical world of Austin, TX in March of 1999. Since their momentous inception, this unique tribe of Xena-inspired rockers has battled in the name of queer rock love above and beyond the Lone Star State. Accompanied by a repertoire of slide imagery to assist in the narration of their travels and relying heavily on large dressing rooms and hoola-hoops; Raunchy and her Amazons live and love by the warrior code so dramatically established in their epic song: 'WWXD?' [That's What Would Xena Do? For you listeners at home.] Described as "a terrifying Xena two-part episode, or more aptly, a painfully twisted, season-long arc" (Kate X Messer- The Austin Chronicle), the Amazons leave every show cliffhanging with the promise and the request to keep the dream alive! BATTLE ON, AMAZONS!
