League of Blind Women was a brief-lived alternative rock supergroup comprising Rob Buck (lead guitar) and Jerry Augustyniak (drums) from 10,000 Maniacs, Casey Orr (bass) known from Gwar and Rigor Mortis, Mike Scaccia (guitar) associated with Ministry and Rigor Mortis, Kol Marshall (keyboards) from Critical Mass and See No Evil, alongside vocalist Chris Kelly. Following Orr's departure in March 1999 to rejoin Gwar, Mitch Marine of Tripping Daisy stepped in as bassist. Subsequently, Dave Dunn replaced Augustyniak on drums.
The group recorded two distinct demo collections, a five-track EP, plus an additional song partially tracked at Nomad Studio located in Carrollton, Texas.
During 1998–1999, Buck temporarily exited 10,000 Maniacs to dedicate his efforts to League of Blind Women; Michael Lee Jackson from Animal Planet filled his role during this interval. Buck rejoined 10,000 Maniacs in 1999 but was suffering from illness and passed away on December 19, 2000, due to liver failure.
In 2001, the band issued their self-titled five-song EP League of Blind Women. Although the liner notes credit Chris Kelly (vocals), Mike Scaccia (guitar), and Kol Marshall (keyboards), these tracks were subtly remixed versions of demos initially recorded with Buck on guitar.
All compositions were created by Chris Kelly along with Rob Buck or Mike Scaccia.
