AC/DShe (pronounced A C - D She) is an all-female AC/DC tribute band. The band, which was founded in San Francisco, covers only pre-1980s AC/DC songs (thus those written while Bon Scott was still alive).[1][2] The band was created by Nicki Williams and Amy Ward in 1997. AC/DShe has toured throughout the US and in Europe and performed at the AC/DC tribute festival in Wales in 2004.[1][3]
In November 2001, the band began receiving significant media coverage, starting with a feature article in Details Magazine. The band also has received national and international press since then, alongside other gender-specific tribute acts such as Lez Zeppelin[1] and Mandonna.[4] They were also featured in an article on Hustler magazine that covered all-female tribute bands.[5]
