Pyrite is:

Black Flamingo (vocals, guitar)

Riot grrl, indie chic, a mom that rocks; during the last decade she has worked with Joey Ramone, Patti Smith, David Johanson, and producer Daniel Rey.  She was recently featured in filmmaker Kate Perrotti’s rockumentary about moms that rock.  Black Flamingo also founded Music & Love, an organization that produces benefits for charities.  Black Flamingo is constantly on tour, either solo, or with her bands Rewbee and πryte.  Her song "Addicted to Sleaze" is on many compilations, including the "Mohawks & Whiskey Shots" and the NETSHOWS compilation for Media Factory Show TV.

Sharon Jaffess (drums, vocals, guitar)

First appearing with the southern New Jersey punk-country band Kise, Sharon became a regular on the NYC club circuit with punk and grunge bands, including:  The Bathroom Guys and Virgin Naugahyde.  In 1996, the women of Kise reunited and formed the power pop trio, Sinde Kise.  After a successful run and the other Kise women’s need to produce offspring, Sharon joined up with NYC punk rocker, Black Flamingo, who already had offspring in school.  Love, like a magnet, pulled Sharon across Route 80 to Chicago in 2004.  In addition to Sinde Kise and Black Flamingo, Sharon has played with The Catholic Girls, Australian rocker Martine Locke, and Ireland’s celtic/jazz/pop award-winners, Zrazy.  Sharon also lends her sticks to Chicagoland’s newest moms that rock, Playdate.  Sharon’s work can be found on compilations including:  “Hoboken:  Stop and Smell the Locals,” “Fake Chapter Eleven Presents,” and KCRH’s “Girl Power Flower Hour.”
