Biography
Eva Ortiz (born January 11, 1961 in Las Vegas, Nevada) moved to Los Angeles, California in 1979 in hopes to start a rock band and be a rock star. She started a local, all-girl punk band in Long Beach known as the Speed Queens, and played with them from 1980-1982. Speed Queens broke up before they could release any songs, and she and bassist Sandra Ross started the Super Heroines. About the same time, she met Rozz Williams, who was starting the band Christian Death.
The Super Heroines released several albums, and Eva recounts that the band members (including herself) all used drugs while in the band; they often would smoke marijuana before playing concerts. When Rikk Agnew left Christian Death, Rozz asked Eva to fill in on guitar. She was in Christian Death for a short time before they added two more members, one of whom later played some shows with the Super Heroines. The Super Heroines made their last album, Love and Pain, in 1983; but it was not released for another 8 years.
