Artist description
Dragqueen is a band in search of amps that go to
eleven. Scotti Fletcher's pulverizing guitar and
Jessica Delich's emotive scream blend into a
pulsating rhythm which calls to mind an image of
a bitchin' Camaro packed with boys in lipstick
rocking out on a Saturday night. |

Artist History
The quartet formed in October of '96, and played
its first two shows at warehouse parties in February
of '97. Then they played America's Pub (K.C.) and The
Hurricane (K.C.) back-to-back. "It was the Hurricane
show when I went 'Wow,' lead guitarist/songwriter
Scotti Fletcher remembers. "It was packed on a
Wednesday night, and ever since that night, it's
been good."
