You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Pretty Girls Make Graves''' is a [[post-punk]] band formed in [[Seattle]] in 2001, named after [[The Smiths]]' song of the same name (which itself was named after a quote from [[Jack Kerouac]]'s ''[[The Dharma Bums]]'').<ref name="smiths">((cite web |title=Pretty Girls Make Graves Interview |url=http://suicidegirls.com/words/Pretty+Girls+Make+Graves/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240205222517/https://www.suicidegirls.com/girls/missy/blog/2678995/pretty-girls-make-graves/ |archive-date=Feb 5, 2024 |access-date=August 1, 2004 |work=Suicide Girls))</ref> Andrea Zollo and Derek Fudesco had played together previously in The Hookers, as well as The Death Wish Kids and Area 51 along with Dann Gallucci, with whom Derek had formed [[The Murder City Devils|Murder City Devils]].

They played the [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival]] in 2004. The band announced its split on January 29, 2007,<ref name="breakup">[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/40773/Pretty_Girls_Make_Graves_Split#40773 Pretty Girls Make Graves Split.] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070213110830/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/40773/Pretty_Girls_Make_Graves_Split#40773 |date=February 13, 2007 )) Posted January 29, 2007.</ref> with their final two shows taking place in Seattle that June.

== History ==
The band released their first [[Extended play|EP]] on [[Dim Mak Records|Dim Mak]] and Sound Virus Records before releasing their debut album ''[[Good Health]]'' on [[Lookout Records]] in April 2002. The band would later sign to [[Matador Records]] where they released ''[[The New Romance]]'', and then later ''[[Élan Vital (album)|Elan Vital]]''. Guitarist Nathan Thelen left Pretty Girls Make Graves in March 2004 to form Moonrats and Leona Marrs (formerly of HintHint) joined as a multi-instrumentalist. On January 29, 2007, the band announced that Nick had left the band and their May 2007 tour would be their last.

===Post-breakup projects===
Clark formed [[Jaguar Love]] with former [[The Blood Brothers (band)|Blood Brothers]] members [[Johnny Whitney]] and  [[Cody Votolato]]. They signed with [[Matador Records]],<ref>[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/48353-jaguar-love-ex-pgmg-blood-brothers-sign-to-matador Pitchfork: Jaguar Love (ex-PGMG, Blood Brothers) Sign to Matador<!-- Bot generated title -->] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080201055331/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/48353-jaguar-love-ex-pgmg-blood-brothers-sign-to-matador |date=February 1, 2008 ))</ref> the former label home of Pretty Girls Make Graves. On February 18, 2009, it was announced Jay was no longer playing in the line up of Jaguar Love, being replaced with a drum machine on that tour.

Dewitt continued working on his solo electronic project Dutch Dub. He also played with Amy Blaschke in Night Canopy. Fudesco, meanwhile, formed [[The Cave Singers]], with Pete Quirk of Hint Hint and Marty Lund of Cobra High.

Soon after leaving Pretty Girls Make Graves, Thelen started Moonrats in Seattle together with keyboard player Aska Matsumiya and drummer Jason Echeverria. They moved to Los Angeles and released an EP on their own. They put out a full-length and a 7" on LA Records in 2008. Thelen then formed Drug Cabin, with Marcus Congleton of Ambulance Ltd, releasing two albums in early 2015 on 401K Music Inc.

Zollo played drums with Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death, and also sang in Deep Creep with Fudesco. She later left the music industry, and began work as a hairstylist.<ref>((cite web |title=Andrea Zollo Hair Stylist |url=https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054519186939 |website=Facebook.com |publisher=Meta |access-date=29 May 2023))</ref>
