Tura Satana (band)

While recording her second rap album for Ruthless Records, rapper and singer Tairrie B wanted to form a rap rock band, Eventually, Tairrie B chose the name Tura Satana, after the actress of the same name, due to Tairrie B finding the actress's character Varla in the film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! "empowering". Due to distribution problems with the label and internal struggles, the band broke up in 1998. In January 2020, Tairrie B released All is Not Well and Relief Through Release for free on her Bandcamp page, alongside a compilation of nine demo recordings from the band's early years.
