Sister Savage
BIOGRAPHY
Tess formed "Sister Savage" with herself in 2007, when she first heard about the RPM Challenge. Until this time, she had never written a song nor played an instrument. Not much has changed.
Curiously, her 2007 RPM album has been...lost.
BAND MEMBERS
Mainly Tess, but occasionally she traps a musician, ties them up (until she actually wants them to play) and then pays them off. It really works.
