Eleanor, a true punk rock diva, began scandalizing the NYC stages in her band in The Goops, known for their occasionally naked- but always incendiary live shows.

​

The band’s lineup was comprised of four human band members: Vlad, Stiff, Heffman, and Eleanora. The Goops have been featured in several documentaries including Burning Down the House: The Story of CBGB and TV-CBGB.

​

The Goops released their first self-titled LP on Blackout!, recorded by legendary punk/hardcore producer Don Fury (Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front, Lunachicks ). The single from that record, "Booze Cabana" was a favorite on MTV’s Beavis & Butt-Head, getting regular rotation.

 

Additionally, Blackout! released a single entitled On The Road With The Goops which included a collectible twelve page comic book with art/story inked by Jim Blanchard (Bad Meat) & Pat Moriarty (Big Mouth), along with the 7” "One Kiss Left" b/w a cover of "Build Me Up Buttercup," which was included on the soundtrack of Kevin Smith’s Mallrats.

 

Their second album, Lucky, was released on Kinetic/Reprise. The Goops toured extensively, both nationally and internationally, with Garbage, Rancid, The Offspring, Rollins Band, The Muffs, Joykiller, and many others.
