The Pandoras were an all-female rock band from Los Angeles, California from 1983 to 1990. The band initially found a following in the Hollywood garage rock scene, and later adopted a contemporary look and hard rock sound. The band leader and singer/songwriter, Paula Pierce, died on August 10, 1991, of an aneurysm at the age of 31.
The Pandoras began in 1983 as part of the 1960s revival garage rock scene led by The Unclaimed, which was led by Pierce's boyfriend, Shelley Ganz. They were also associated with the Paisley Underground era in Hollywood's alternative rock scene that shared an aesthetic heavily influenced by 1960s garage rock and psychedelia. Most members came from the west side and beach cities area of Los Angeles County and Orange County. Pierce, a resident of Chino, California, had been a member of the Hollywood music scene and playing in bands since 1976.
The Pandoras returned in 2018 with their first new record in 29 years "Hey! - It's The Pandoras" on Burger Records. Featuring Kim Shattuck, Melanie Vammen, Karen Basset and Hillary Burton.
From the album "It's About Time", 1984.
