Crystal Fairy was an American rock supergroup from Los Angeles / El Paso, formed in 2016.
The band consisted of Melvins' Buzz Osborne (guitar) and Dale Crover (drums), alongside Le Butcherettes' Teri Gender Bender (vocals) and Omar Rodríguez-López (bass) of At the Drive-In / The Mars Volta / Antemasque fame.
The bands found common ground and their 2015 shows would typically end with Teri Gender Bender joining the Melvins onstage to perform covers of Pop-O-Pies' Fascists Eat Donuts and Bikini Kill's Rebel Girl.
[3] As a result of their kinship, the Melvins and Gender Bender, along with the addition of Gender Bender's friend and frequent collaborator Omar Rodríguez-López, decided to form a separate band and record an entire album together.
[2] Before that, the band was briefly called Red Alpha Royale (this name still appears on the labels of their debut 7" single "Necklace of Divorce").
