Glamazon comes at you with the musical
force of a Hurricane! One of the few rock bands with a transgender lead singer who also plays guitar, Glamazon blazed the trail of musical innovation in the mid 90s. Electronica meets Metal Rock.
Transgendered Lead Singer-Guitarist Christine Beatty and guitarist Shredmistress Rynata created a rock spectacle that was ahead of its time and still amazes audiences world wide! Their material combines aggressive metal with sophisticated electronica and midi equipment. A super-sonic experience as several critics put it. Granted, Glamazon could easily be dismissed as a novelty act or full of Gimmickry but make no mistake: Those two rock divas SHRED and their material is stellar.
Christine was born a boy and transitioned into a beautiful, talented woman. Her experiences as a transgendered woman and rock musician are detailed in her extensive writing, as well as song material for Glamazon. In 1993 Christine Beatty co-founded and performed in Glamazon, one of the first transsexual-fronted heavy metal rock bands. The band performed for the first time in San Francisco at Bottom of the Hill in February 1995, recorded its only released CD in 1995-1996, and moved to Los Angeles in 1999. She is a most respected advocate in the transgendered community and tirelessly furthers the cause of all. She is a published author and founded Glamazon Press, a publishing company, that not only showcases her work as a writer but also offers an opportunity to other transgendered writers, musicians, bands and artists to put their work out there. Music is one of Christine’s greatest passions and she found a worthy outlet in Glamazon.
