Bite Me Bambi is a ska band from Orange County, California[1]. The band was formed of members of several Orange County bands, including vocalist Tahlena Chikami from Karate in the Garage, T-Bone Willy and Brian Mashburn of Save Ferris and Starpool, and Mike Berault of My Superhero. The band plays energetic songs, taking inspiration from both British two-tone and third-wave ska.[2]
History
Following Chikami's departure from her previous band, Karate in the Garage, and the band Starpool going on hiatus, Chikami and Starpool members Williams and Mashburn came together to form a new project in 2018. Filling out their lineup with musicians from the Southern California ska scene, the band played their first show in July 2018.[3] The band has since worked to build themselves up by opening for a host of third-wave ska bands, including Fishbone, The Selecter, and Reel Big Fish.[2] Taking an unconventional approach to releasing music, the band hasn't released a full-length album, but instead periodically releases singles, each with an accompanying music video. As of 2023, the band has an active Twitch.tv presence, performing karaoke-style requests and interacting with fans.
The band's name is a quote from the movie Josie and the Pussycats.[4]
