History

Kat Spazzy (aka Katarina Ljubicic) and Lucy Spazzy (aka Lucy Ljubicic) are twins sisters. For Years Nine and Ten they attended Melbourne Girls' College alongside Ally Spazzy (aka Alice McNamara). The Spazzys formed in Melbourne in 2000, after Ally's 18th birthday with Kat on guitar and lead vocals; Lucy on bass guitar and vocals; and Ally on drums and vocals. One of their influences were The Ramones, and in homage they each adopted the band's name as their performance surname.

Kat recalled that initially "we couldn't play, so we just did it. I was told I was the one who would be playing guitar – I didn't know if it was serious and I didn't want to spend any money, so I borrowed a guitar, and after six months I realised that maybe we could do this." The group played their first show as a support for fellow punk band, Mach Pelican.
