The Pandoras – an all-female influential garage punk/pop band
formed in Los Angeles in the mid 80’s by founder Paula Pierce
(singer/songwriter/guitar). The members included Melanie
Vammen (The Muffs co-founder), Kim Shattuck (The Muffs co-
founder), Karen Basset, and Sheri Weinstein. The band released
albums on Bomp!, Rhino Records, Restless/Enigma, and was
signed to Electra Records. Over the years, they toured the US
and Canada extensively. The band has been featured on various
video and tv shows including The Arsenio Hall Show and MTV, as
well as heavy rotation on KROQ and many other commercial
radio stations. Tragically, Paula Pierce passed away in 1991.
In 2015, the band reunited with Kim taking over on lead
vocals/guitar and began touring the US and Europe. In 2018, the
band released, “Hey! It’s The Pandoras”, a 7 song EP which
continues to receive heavy airplay on Serious XM, Little Steven’s
Underground Garage. In 2019, Kim Shattuck lost her life to ALS.
Melanie, Karen, and Sheri have continued playing as The
Pandoras with Karen taking over lead vocals/guitar. Now joining
them on bass is Natalie Grace Sweet. Doing what they've always
done, they perform your favorite Pandoras tunes. "We always
celebrate the lives of our badass bandmates and family, Paula
Pierce and Kim Shattuck, who left us way too young. You are sure
to shake your hips and bang your head as you dig a rock’n fun
time!"
