Le Team Dresch rappresentano l'ala lesbica del movimento "riot grrrrl" di Olympia (nei pressi di Seattle), dove si sono trasferite da Portland. Capitanate dalla leggendaria Donna Dresch, animatrice dei circoli locali, annoverano altre due cantanti e chitarriste, Kaia Wilson (ex Adickdid) e Jody Bleyle (batterista degli Hazel). Al singolo Hand Granade (Kill Rock Stars, 1994), fa seguito Personal Best (Lesbionic, 1994), un album che dimostra soprattutto potenzialita` musicali, anche se fa scalpore per le liriche virulente. Canzoni punk-pop come She's Crushing My Mind e anthem arrabbiati come Fagetarian And Dyke fanno pensare a un gruppo maturo. La filastrocca country Freewheel, che omaggia le Indigo Girls, lascia pero` intravedere la vera personalita` di Wilson.

Captain My Captain (Chainsaw, 1996) e` l'opposto: a eccellere non sono Remember Who You Are e Uncle Phranc, ma le pose del quartetto.

Wilson ha poi pubblicato gli album acustici Kaia Wilson (Chainsaw, 1997) e Ladyman (Mr Lady, 1998). After the breakup of Team Dresh, Wilson released the acoustic albums Kaia (Chainsaw, 1997), with the nice childhood's recollection of Julie Of The Wolves, and Ladyman (Mr Lady, 1998).

Kaia Wilson then returned to her "queercore" origins with the Butchies, a "lesbionic" (hardcore) trio that released Population 1975 (Mr Lady, 1999), still uncertain between country ballads and punk romps, the more aggressive Are We Not Femme (Mr Lady, 2000), with Disco, and 3 (Mr Lady, 2001) Anything Anthology, a rowdy hardcore affair.

Jody Bleyle formed Infinite X's with Tamala Poljak (Longstocking, Automaticans), Whitney Skillkorn (Little Deaths, Fighter D) and Scotty Walsh (Automaticans) and released Infinite X's (Chainsaw, 2002), that continues Team Dresh's program in a more rough, alternative, lo-fi vein.
