Loveless at DC9 (Washington DC) September 2014


Loveless was born in Coshocton, Ohio, in the Newcastle area. They are the daughter of Parker Chandler and have two older sisters: Eleanor Sinacola, and Jessica, who now performs under the stage name "Jessica Wabbit". Loveless grew up on a farm in a rural area outside of Coshocton and was home-schooled. They said they felt like an outcast in a town that emphasized religion and conformity until they moved to Columbus, Ohio when they were 14. They enjoyed Hank Williams III and punk-influenced country music, while also embracing popular music and rock and roll and "pretty much anything on Kemado Records."

Their family is musical: Loveless' father was a pastor, drummer, and later country-western bar owner for a time. They and their sisters played several instruments. Loveless took piano lessons, then began trying to play the guitar at 12.
