The Boyettes were a three-piece garage rock band formed in the 90s. The band comprised of: Jo Boyette [Jo Ward] on guitar and vocals, Maria Boyette [Maria Sokratis] on bass and Claud Boyette [Jackie Vidot] on drums. They released one self titled EP on the Wig Wam label. Recorded after their very first gig, it captures an energy and stripped back sound that does them proud against the classic garage rockers they cite as devotees, a sound they describe as primitive. The Boyettes also scored some impressive support slots, playing alongside Japan's 5,6,7,8s and Bored! They disbanded in 1999 with Jo joining Liz Dealey with the band The Ramonas, an all-girl Ramones 'cover' band. Maria formed the band, Mystaken with Stewart Tabert, drummer with The Philisteins and Freeloaders.
