Growing up in Melbourne, Brody Dalle attended the legendary Rock'n'Roll High School in the '90s, where she founded her first band, Sourpuss. When they played 1995's Summersault Festival, she met Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong and followed him to Los Angeles. The pair getting married in 1997 when she turned 18 (before divorcing in 2003). Dalle started The Distillers in 1998, with the band—and its frontwoman—earning an instant reputation as explosive live performers. Their self-titled debut LP dropped in 2000, and was soon followed by 2002's Sing Sing Death House. 2003's Coral Fang saw The Distillers add a more polished, radio-oriented sheen to their raw punk sound, but it proved to be their last album. Dalle would later front Spinnerette and record solo, as well as marrying Kyuss/QOTSA legend Josh Homme in 2007.
