Julia Cafritz was best known for her work with the seminal New York/D.C. Noise-Punk band Pussy
Galore. She and university chum Jon Spencer formed the band in 1985, and then managed to involve
a number of other semi-infamous musicians in the process. Most notably, drummer Bob Bert, whom
they stole from Sonic Youth. She left Pussy Galore in 1989 before the completion of what would turn
out to be their final album, the PMRC friendly album "Dial 'M' for Motherfucker". After Pussy
Galore, she carried on with other projects, such as the Action Swingers, Velvet Monkey (both with
Don Fleming) and indie-rock super group Free Kitten, composed of Kim Gordon (of Sonic Youth), Mark
Ibold (formerly of Pavement) and Yoshimi (of the Boredoms and OOIOO). Free Kitten has released
two Full Length albums: Nice Ass (1995) and Sentimental Education (1997), as well as a plethora of
seven inches. Recently Free Kitten has gone on hiatus to allow the members time to pursue other
projects.
Beyond that, Julia has been rumored to be teaching somewhere in NYC, and recently gave birth to a baby,
Alice.
