About
"Ankh is an all out Blast! Gretchen Bonaduce shines with great stage presence and vocals. I LOVE this band!" - Cherie Currie (The Runaways, ChainsawChick.com)

"Gretchen & Ankh make it easy for me to be "Mr. 80's" when they do such justice to the decade with their incredible musical tribute. Gretchen brings so much energy and life, let alone pure sexiness to their performance, it shows why the 80's were so much fun and the music is still as fresh today as it was then." - Julian "Mr. 80's" Douglas
