The White Trash Debutantes -
The late great Joey Ramone describes them as "The
B52's With An Edge." MTV's
Kurt Loder called them "A Prom Night Gone Bad."
The
White Trash Debutantes
originated in San Francisco California to help
former Punk Globe Editor and
Debutante Ginger Coyote celebrate her birthday.
They
were soon invited by Mr.
Joey Ramone to partake in his "Circus Of The
Perverse" in NYC playing with
the likes of Bebe Buell, Debbie Harry, Lemmy
Kielmeister (Motorhead) and The
Ramones.
The band has releases out on 206 Records,
Alternative Tentacles, Desperate
Attempt Records, Beer City Records, Helter
Skelter,

States, Japan, Canada and
Mexico playing with such notables as Green Day,
Rancid, Other Star People,
L7, The Offspring, The Ramones, Blondie, Shonen
Knife, Union 13 and The

You may have heard some of the bands music on the
soundtrack for "Nash
Bridges" Or seen them when they had the "Worlds
Oldest Punk Rocker" in the
band the amazing Punk Rock Patty Pierce and they
appeared on "The Jerry
Springer Show," "Talk Soup," "MTV's Week In News,"
"Entertainment Tonight" or
"A Current Affair." Their invitation to fallen
Olympic Figure Skater Tonya
Harding also brought the band worldwide attention.
We are also coming close
to the Daytime Emmy Awards and the hit song "Don't
Mess With Susan Lucci"
will get mega radio airplay.
In 1999 Ginger Coyote the band lead singer and
originator moved to Hollywood
and put together a new version of the band
