Bjelland considered the band something of a side project from her main output and drummer Russell Simins was also a member of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.[1] Gray had previously been in Salamander Jim and Lubricated Goat prior to the formation of the band.

In February 1993, the band wrote a number of songs and the same month entered the studio to record their first and only album, the self-titled Crunt. Though the album's recording and production were short, the album was not released until a year later in February 1994. After the album's release, the band had plans for a full tour in order to promote the album, however, no such tour eventuated. Crunt disbanded around the same time Bjelland and Gray filed for divorce in January 1995.[2]
