Rizzo was an American punk band from Los Angeles, California, United States.

History[]

Sarah Dale (drums and vocals) and Jen Abercrombie (guitar and vocals) formed the band in 1995. They originally called themselves Mopar, but after discovering that they had both played the role of Rizzo in their high school productions of Grease, they changed their name to that of the character.[1] In addition to the Phoning It In LP/CD produced in 2001, Rizzo released one single, recorded by Jimmy Tamborello,[2] and two split singles. Abercrombie also contributed vocals to the Tullycraft albums City of Subarus and Disenchanted Hearts Unite.[3]
