History
Wright moved from New York City to Chapel Hill, NC after her first band Crowsdell called it quits. While in Chapel Hill, Wright started experimenting and writing solo songs with a borrowed four-track recorder. Wright, known for her "do-it-yourself punk aesthetic", received much encouragement from friends to continue making records, even though she had considered quitting. So, when a friend gave one of her four-track recordings to someone at Touch and Go/Quarterstick Records, and they offered to release her first solo record, she decided to continue her musical career on her own. After, the release of the 7" A tin crown for the social bash on Overcoat Records, Wright signed with Touch and Go Records in 1998 till they closed in 2008. Wright signed with Vicious Circle (France) in 2003. In 2012, Wright signed with Ernest Jennings who'll be re-releasing Secret Blood and her 2013 upcoming record.
