History

Bambix was founded in 1988 by Wick Bambix (Willia van Houdt) as an all-women band. The name "Bambix" comes from a manufacturer of baby food in the Netherlands.[5] Wick had the idea to form a band, and put ads in various newspapers to find other band members. Wick has said that, being a woman in punk, she has had lit cigarettes thrown at her hair on stage, as well as overt threats of rape.[6] Over the years, as band members left and were replaced, Bambix has evolved from an all-women band to a woman-fronted band.[7] Wick is the primary songwriter.[8]

Bambix has shared the stage with Bad Religion, Terrorgruppe,[8] Fabulous Disaster, GBH,[8] Good Riddance, The Ataris, Sepultura, Pennywise, Snuff, Snapcase, Instigators, Toy Dolls, Pascow, and Cock Sparrer, among others.[9] [10] Recently Wick Bambix has put out a solo album The Pariah's Promise (Rookie Records, 2023) and also performed solo shows.[11] [12] The single from this album is the song Solitary.[13]

Discography

Bambix has released seven studio albums,[2] three of which were on the German indie punk label Vitaminepillen Records.[14] Two studio albums were released by the European-wide label Go-Kart Records. Bambix has also released 4 EPs.[15]
