Molly Neuman is a musician originally from the Washington, D.C. area[1] who has performed in such influential bands as Bratmobile, The Frumpies, and the PeeChees. She was a pioneer of the early-to-mid '90s riot grrrl movement, penning the zine which coined the phrase in its title. She also co-wrote Girl Germs with Bratmobile singer Allison Wolfe while the two were students at The University of Oregon.[citation needed] The title later became the name of a Bratmobile song.[2]
Neuman co-owns the Berkeley-based Lookout! Records with her ex-husband and former PeeChees singer Christopher Appelgren[citation needed] and a third co-owner[3], and in 2006 she started her own independent record label called Simple Social Graces Discos. She also founded the organization Indivision Management and works as a manager for such artists as Ted Leo and The Donnas.[4]
Neuman currently resides in Brooklyn and is Director of Label Relations for eMusic[5], and has recently started a band with former PeeChees member Carlos Canedo called Love or Perish.
