FEMALE-FRONTED FINEST JACKROCK

Say hello to WHY AMNESIA: The female-fronted band based in North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, represent dirty rock´n´roll with kick-ass-attitude, groovy riffs and bass lines, and catchy lyrics. With their ripped denims and dark retro sunglasses those dudes might remind you of a biker gang - which is somehow fitting, as their music is the perfect soundtrack for a long ride on a winding and dusty road. 

Since 2014, WHY AMNESIA consist of outstanding singer Shirley Golightly, lead guitarist Theus Caster and Sanni Wea on rhythm guitar. The current lineup has Viva on drums, former member of the German punk/new wave/rock band PHANTOMS OF FUTURE, and temporarily Sanni has taken over the bass guitar.

In 2024 WHY AMNESIA toured as an opening act for German hard rock legends VICTORY on their Circle of Life-Tour, and were on stage at WASSENROCK Open Air with THE NEW ROSES, MOTORJESUS and GHOSTHER. In 2025, WHY AMNESIA had the great pleasure and honour to be a part of the line up of SUMMERSIDE FESTIVAL in Grenchen, Switzerland, and warm up the crowd before international bands like EUROPE, BILLY IDOL and ROYAL REPUBLIC. Recent highlights have also included festival shows throughout Germany and the Netherlands as well as support shows for THE UNITY, COBRA SPELL and THE DIRTY DENIMS. Following their latest single release „Come Out And Play“ in July 2025 new music has been recorded and will be released in 2026. 

First shows for 2027 have been confirmed, starting in January in Belgium and the Netherlands supporting DOOGIE WHITE (the voice of RAINBOW, M. SCHENKER, ALCATRAZZ). Stay tuned for more - CU on the road!
