Artist Biography by Steve Huey
Taking their name from the Avengers heroine, New
York's Emma Peel were a trashy punk quintet with a certain twanginess
that earned them comparisons to the Geraldine Fibbers. Guitarist Kurt
Wolf was the group's best-known member, having spent time with
noise-rock icons Pussy Galore and Boss Hog in addition to playing with
Foetus and briefly joining Loudspeaker. Finnish-born guitarist Harri
Kupiainen and bassist Lizzie Avondet had both been in Piss Factory,
which released one album in 1993. Avondet shared lead vocals with
Rebecca Gaffney, and the lineup was completed by a drummer known simply
as Alba. Their only album was 1995's Play Emma for Me, released on
Sympathy for the Record Industry, which featured several songs from a
live gig at CBGB's. The group toured in 1996 and sometimes included
former Pain Teens singer Bliss Blood, who never recorded with them owing
to their imminent breakup.
