Not the all-female band, from Detroit, Chicago's '''Gore Gore Girls''' was a short-lived band formed in [[1990]] by [[Ben Weasel]] (ex-[[Screeching Weasel]], vocals), [[Jughead]] (ex-Screeching Weasel, guitar), [[Underdog Records]] founder [[Russ Forster]] (ex-[[Sponge]], [[Fudgetunnel]], and [[Spongetunnel]], guitar), [[Glynis Johnson]] ([[Friends of Betty]], bass) and [[Erik Elsewhere]] (drums). Before settling on the name "Gore Gore Girls", the band went through the names "Wiggle", "Los Gusanos Amardos" and "Glynis Johnson and the Disgusteens". Johnson left after the band's first show. [[Douglas Ward]] (ex-[[ID Under]]) played bass for the band's second gig. This line up went into the studio and recorded a bunch of songs, with only one song seeing the light of day. [[Dave Naked]] joined the band as bassist a week before their 3rd show, which was an opening slot at a Screeching Weasel reunion show in early [[1991]]. At that show, [[Dan Schafer]] proposed to Jughead the idea of reuniting Screeching Weasel. Ben agreed and he and Jughead quit the Gore Gore Girls, but asked Dave Naked to join them in SW.
