Paula Pierce and then newest Pandoras drummer "Kyd", August 8th, 1991. Photo by Arlan Helm, taken just days before Paula's death. Little is known about Kyd. She was auditioned by Paula & Lissa Beltri to replace the recently departed Sheri Kaplan for the new lineup of the band. It has been suggested to me that Kyd is Kyd Ellsworth, former drummer of The Catholic Girls, but I have not been able to confirm that. Although only in rehearsal, Kyd turned out to be the last drummer to ever play with Paula.

In memory of the late, great Paula Pierce (6/23/60--8/10/91), here she is in her pre-rocker days. Photo of The Pandoras taken May of 1986. Photographer unknown.
