Inger Lorre (born Lori Ann Wening; August 2, 1963 – October 16, 2024) was an American singer who was best known for her band Nymphs.
[1] The band's distinctive sound, a mixture of punk rock and goth, glam and grunge, and image began to attract the attention of major record labels.
The band even made a brief appearance in the film Bad Influence performing "The Highway", a song Lorre wrote about a young girl infatuated with serial killer Richard Ramirez.
In 1995, she teamed up with Motel Shootout and released the single Burn, on old friend Long Gone John's label, Sympathy for the Record Industry.
Lorre's vocals are featured on "Angel Mine" while Jeff played guitar, sitar, and mouth sax on the track, released on the Jack Kerouac tribute album Kicks Joy Darkness.
She made a cameo appearance in the 2001 indie film Down and Out with the Dolls, a raunchy, wry, and in-your-face tale of the fast rise and fall of an all-girl, four-piece Portland rock band.
Lorre's second solo album, produced by Paul Roessler and entitled Gloryland, was released on October 6, 2023, on Kitten Robot Records.
