Super Heroines

The Super Heroines were an American deathrock trio founded in Los Angeles by guitarist and vocalist Eva O (Eva Ortiz) in 1981. The original line-up included bassist Sandra Ross (Sandra Lynn Rosendin), a member of Eva O's previous group, the Speed Queens, and drummer Del Mar Richardson. Along with Christian Death, 45 Grave, and Kommunity FK, the band helped define the Los Angeles deathrock genre that emerged from the L.A. punk-rock scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The group's influences included Joan Jett and the Runaways, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, and Kiss.
