The voice of the band's lead vocalist, Diana Quinn, has been described as evoking "early Deborah Harry -- sort of Blondie meets The Stooges or New York Dolls."
TFI was one of six local bands chosen to record the music featured on a two-CD set which memorializes the closing of the original 9:30 Club.
In the early 1980s, "Washingtron" received quite a bit of air play on local radio stations like WHFS.
TFI played at CBGB and The Ritz in New York City, as well as locations in Philadelphia, Richmond, Ohio, and North Carolina.
Quinn has since also been involved with Honky Tonk Confidential, a retro/alt country band, and The Fabulettes, a three-woman ensemble that uses the "Girl Group Sound" of the 1960s.
