Bastard Fairies

The Bastard Fairies began when lead singer Yellow Thunder Woman and guitarist Robin Davey met in Minneapolis when Robin came from the U.K. to produce the 2003 release of Indigenous’ self-titled album. Soon after, they began to create their own music because “there wasn’t any music out there that they liked listening too”, Yellow Thunder Woman says.
