1 Comment

• ˝Tru Fax & the Insaniacs (TFI) are a punk/new wave band in the Washington, D.C., area. The voice of the band’s lead vocalist, Diana Quinn, has been described as evoking *”early Deborah Harry — sort of Blondie meets The Stooges or New York Dolls.”* TFI was part of DC’s infant punk scene in the late 1970s/early 1980s.˝

  ˝The members of TFI are Diana Quinn (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), David Wells (lead guitar, backup vocals), and Michael Mariotte (drums). Artist/musician Libby Hatch, self-proclaimed St. John’s College alumni, took a turn on bass guitar in the early 1980s. Hatch was previously with the Shirkers.˝

  ˝Quinn is currently involved with several other projects including˝:

  – Honky Tonk Confidential, a retro/alt country band

  – The Fabulettes, a three-woman ensemble that uses the “Girl Group Sound” of the 1960s
