In Hollywood, California, in 1984 she formed trash rock band, The Killer Crows. After their break-up and a three-year break she formed Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones with Don "Demon Boy" Cilurso who became her song writing partner. They released one album in 1998 Eat Shit on the Burning Tree label. Eat Shit has subsequently been re-released twice as Eat Shit +1 and more recently Eat Shit +4, the + number signifying the number of bonus tracks on each re-release. The band achieved a sizable cult status in America and Europe over the course of their six years together. In 1999 they were named most Psychotic Band and Best Hollywood Band by Rock City News and Texas Terri was dubbed Best Female Singer by Flipside Magazine.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

When Cilurso left the band, Texas Terri chose to change the name to 'Texas Terri Bomb!'. Under this name she has released the Your Lips...My Ass! album which was produced by remounted rock producer Jack Douglas, and featured a guest appearance by Wayne Kramer of the MC5.
