Members: Annette Weatherman

Springfield, MO punk band

Barbie Holocaust was a Springfield, Missouri based punk band that was around for a couple of years in the mid-1990’s. They played poppy-punk with a grunge influence, and were notable for a couple of unusual things: Guitarist Matt Marineo and bass player/vocalist Rudie Weatherman were all of 14 years old when they started the band, and drummer Annette Weatherman was Rudie’s mom. They released a well played but poorly recorded demo tape in 1995, and then a superior demo in 1996. Professionally recorded, the tape featured some strong songwriting and playing. It was the last thing to be released by the band.
