    Biography
    Sugar Babylon also referred to as Sugar Babydoll and Sugar Bunnyfarm, has been referred to by Kat as the smallest thing she has ever done musically.

    “I’d quit the Venarays by this time and me and Courtney were trying to get a band together. We needed a bass player, so when we found Jennifer we formed Sugar Babydoll, Sugar Babylon, Sugar Bunny Farm or whatever it was called. We went through a few names, and we only played a couple of shows. It was the smallest thing I’ve ever done musically.”

    – Kat Bjelland, from the book “Women Sex and Rock ‘n’ Roll: In their Own Words” by Liz Evans, published by Pandora 1994 printed in Great Britain.

    Jennifer Finch later went on to perform in L7 and now has a new band called The Shocker. You can check them out on myspace: The Shocker while Courtney formed the band Hole.
