League of Blind Women
League of Blind Women was a short-lived alternative rock supergroup from Dallas, Texas. The band was active mainly from 1998 to 1999, with a release coming in 2001.
The lineup included Rob Buck (lead guitar) and Jerry Augustyniak (drums) from 10,000 Maniacs; Casey Orr (bass) from Gwar and Rigor Mortis; Mike Scaccia (guitar) from Ministry and Rigor Mortis; Kol Marshall (keyboards) from Critical Mass; and Chris Kelly on vocals.
In March 1999, Casey Orr left to return to Gwar, and Mitch Marine joined on bass from Tripping Daisy. Jerry Augustyniak left, and Dave Dunn took over on drums.
LBW produced several recordings, including a five-song EP and an additional song. Some material was recorded at Nomad Studio in Carrollton, Texas.
Rob Buck left 10,000 Maniacs for part of 1998–1999 to focus on League of Blind Women and was temporarily replaced by Michael Lee Jackson of Animal Planet; Jackson later returned to Animal Planet. Buck rejoined 10,000 Maniacs in 1999, but he died on December 19, 2000, of liver failure.
In 2001, League of Blind Women released the five-song EP League of Blind Women. Credits list Chris Kelly on vocals, Mike Scaccia on guitars, and Kol Marshall on keyboards, but these were remixed versions of earlier demos that had Rob Buck on guitar. The songs were written by Chris Kelly and Rob Buck/Mike Scaccia.
