CAREER



Musician


As a teenager, Wilson was a member of the band Adickdid , which was distributed by several labels including YoYo Records and Kill Rock Stars . From there, she went on to Team Dresch , in which she shared singing and songwriting duties with Jody Bleyle . Shortly after Dresch released their debut album, '' Personal Best '', in 1995, Wilson left the group and released a solo acoustic album entitled ''Kaia'', with the assistance of Melissa York , who would later join Wilson in the Butchies.

In 1998 , several songs from ''Kaia'' were rerecorded and appeared on the debut album by her newest band, The Butchies . The Butchies boasted a more pop-oriented rock sound, occasionally delving into acoustic music and even electronic dance tracks. The group recorded four albums before their break-up early 2005 , when they announced an indefinite "hiatus" on their website and thanked their fans. The Butchies reunited for a single show that November when all three group members happened to be back in Durham, North Carolina at the same time.

Wilson has continued to release solo work, her latest being the album ''Oregon'' in 2002. She reunited with Team Dresch for several live shows in 2006 .
