Tish Bellomo

Who is Tish Bellomo?

Tish Bellomo, along with her sister Snooky Bellomo, was a member of the rock group Blondie. The sisters sang backing vocals at early Blondie gigs at Max's Kansas City and CBGB, and went on to form another band called the Drop-Outs. In 1977, their friend Russell Wolinsky invited them to join a band he was forming "for one gig" called the Sic F*cks. They continued to play regularly for the next two years and the sisters still perform once a year under that name.

In 1977, Tish and Snooky opened the first punk rock boutique on St. Mark's Place in New York City, called Manic Panic. They used the same name for their alternative hair, makeup and fashion accessories company.
