Ouija Radio is a female-fronted rock group based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The band is led by the enigmatic Christy Hunt who is like a bar fight collision of a garage rock Joan Jett and a shredded out Jimmy Page.



******************************************************************************************************************************************************



Dubbed a “Bubblegum Axewoman Barbie” by the Twin Cities’ weekly entertainment newspaper, City Pages, Christy sings and plays lead guitar with a signature style that puts her at the top of an unfortunately small and elite league of female lead guitarists/shredders. This is a three piece band, so Christy gets absolutely zero guitar back up - because she doesn’t need any.

Matt “Helz” Belz plays bass in a manic, otherworldly style that would impress the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea. Charles Gehr plays drums and as the band’s Web site says, “he also reads old copies of famous monsters magazines.”

The band has released three albums, "Washed Out America", “Last Night on Earth” and the 2006 released “Oh No… Yes Yes!!” Other records worth finding are, "Journey to the Center of the Mind" split with Awesome Car Funmaker (hand screened covers), "The Devil and the Witch single (purple vinyl)", "Let Them Eat Jelly Beans" DVD tour diary, and the unreleased "The Moon is High and So Am I" the long lost second album (very, very rare).

"I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself." - Anais Nin

"I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing

you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who

shouldn't use drugs." -frank zappa
