History

Osborne first saw Le Butcherettes open for his friend Jello Biafra. Excited by the performance, he told Crover that he wanted to tour with the band. Le Butcherettes opened for the Melvins on different occasions. The bands found common ground and their 2015 shows would typically end with Teri Gender Bender joining the Melvins onstage to perform covers of Pop-O-Pies' Fascists Eat Donuts and Bikini Kill's Rebel Girl.[2] The latter song was eventually recorded in studio and released in September 2015 on Joyful Noise Recordings as a "Melvins feat. Teri Gender Bender" 7" single.[3] As a result of their kinship, the Melvins and Gender Bender, along with the addition of Gender Bender's friend and frequent collaborator Omar Rodríguez-López, decided to form a separate band and record an entire album together.[2][4]

During one of the recording sessions, Suárez improvised the line "My name is Crystal Fairy!", likely as a reference to the 2013 Chilean film Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus.[5] The name stuck with the band.[2] Before that, the band was briefly called Red Alpha Royale (this name still appears on the labels of their debut 7" single "Necklace of Divorce").[6]

After performing several shows together, a booked tour was cancelled and the momentum of the band stopped entirely, with the band “falling apart” per Crover.[7] “Buzz and I were really committed to it. We were going to put The Melvins on hold because we thought that it was something that was really special. So that was a tough loss.”
