History

Sarah Dale (drums & vocals) and Jen Abercrombie (guitar & vocals) formed the band in 1995. They originally called themselves Mopar, but after discovering that they had both played the role of Rizzo in their high school productions of Grease, they couldn't help but change their name to a character that they could both identify with. In addition to the Phoning It In LP/CD produced in 2001, Rizzo released one 7" single, recorded by Jimmy Tamborello (The Postal Service), and two split singles. Jen Abercrombie also contributed vocals to the Tullycraft albums City of Subarus and Disenchanted Hearts Unite.
