Biography

Dark-eyed, raven-haired, and extraordinarily busty actress Tura Satana's exotic appearance comes from her Apache-Japanese descent. An expert in karate, the former exotic dancer gained cult status after headlining Russ Meyer's notorious go-go-girl epic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966). It was her third film appearance and afterward she staffed two more exploitation films, including Astro-Zombies (1967). She retired to become a nurse. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Tura Satana was an alternative metal band named after cult actress Tura Satana. The band started in the early 90s under the name Manhole. Due to legal reasons they changed it after the release of their first album 'All Is Not Well'. While the music was brutal and powerful, the lyrics of the first album were strongly influenced by singer Tairrie B's hardships as a woman having dealt with a dysfunctional family and violence.

Their second (and final) offering was the religious influenced Relief Through Release. Throughout their career, the band has shared the stage with rock big names such as Human Waste Project, Snot, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Incubus and Limp Bizkit.

After they disbanded, Tairrie B went on to form My Ruin and Brian Harrah went on to play in Professional Murder Music and subsequently The Mercy Clinic which featured Pat Lachman, former vocalist for Damage Plan.
