A banda surgiu no fim de 1995 com a formação Elisa, Estela, Isabella e Diego, mas só no começo de 1996 foi que começou a usar o nome Dominatrix, que veio de uma música do Bratmobile chamada "Panik".
Em jan 96, lançou sua primeira demo chamada "Pink Hair Rules", gravada com Elisa (g/v), Isabella (b/v) e Estela (bateria). Em março de 96, tocaram seu primeiro show, com as bandas No Class e No Violence. Em maio, com mais uma integrante chamada Ana (guit), lançaram a segunda demo chamada "Little Grrls". Em set 96, a banda grava duas faixas para a coletânea "SP Punk vol II".
Desde o fim de 1996, a banda conta com uma nova guitarrista, Eliane (hoje do Pin Ups), e lança, em março, a demo "March 8th". Em abril de 1997, Eliane deixa a banda. No mês seguinte, como um trio, o DMX lança a quarta demo, intitulada "all we want is girl unity", e é convidada a fazer parte do "cast" da gravadora Teenager in a Box. Seu disco de estréia, "Girl Gathering", é lançado em agosto de 97, contando com as músicas das duas últimas demos. O disco é rapidamente vendido, esgotando das prateleiras nove meses depois. Em junho de 98, a banda grava então seu segundo álbum, chamado "Self Delight" em parceria da Teenager in a Box com a gravadora Clorine, com músicas novas e inéditas. Este, como o 1º, é vendido rapidamente.
No fim de 1998, Mayra entra na banda e a faixa "Redial" do disco "Self Delight" aparece na coletânea HC SCene vol 3. Em junho de 99, a banda gravou três faixas para o split com a banda Street Bulldogs, que saiu em agosto de 99 pelo selo feminino Clorine Disx.

Algumas letras:

big sobber jelly

i cannot describe the way i want you
all i feel is your eternal sweet sweet voice
that sobber feeling turn to fire
when two of the same get together
it seems we are not having fun
what have we done? we are still alive
i beg you mercy it brings me light
you are the cure for my pain
(what have we done for my...)
you know it's going to be a great loss
and it seems i'm not the only one who feels your absence
i didnt want to do this
it wasnt my decision
i'll never forget you i'll always want you back

they cry
my poor little angel now are dead
they had no choice inside
the little kids are now so alone they didnt live a life
girls are grrrrls but little girls are dead
a guy behing them all made the children feel just like crap
they were born just to fall
why do we have a fate we just dont it more
coz the sky's so close and it's so easy to give up... isnt it that funny?
why the life has gotta be like this?
i know i hear they cry
the big guy uses their bodies like this he can survive
one day the evil god revenge will kill all those bad souls
little kids will come back to their houses, they'll have a childhood
little girl uses her money to buy the make up she's 9 or 10 years old
the baby even has no face but she knows what's her first job
she knows exactly what does "death" mean
oh no she's still alive
she's indian with pretty red face but she never saw a tree

MY NEW GUN

why are you girl sittin' there so angry?
Some stupid boy called me a fucken fascist.
he's just a middle class jerk.
are they so good to give us a fucken note?
some of you boys say such stupid things.
you should learn how to hide your fears.
you come to the show just to swear us.
can't you see that your money comes to me?
take part in this riot only for girls.
i never thought the girls would be so united.
take part in this riot only for girls.
i never thought the girls would be so strong.
i never saw such a fancy girl like you. w
hy dont you realize you need your own opinion?
you hang out with these boys they alienate you.
now you just learn to be a stupid geek.
these fucken boys say that we are fascists because they never saw the power of girl unity.
they don't have better things to do. if we didn't exist who would be their underdog?

NO MAKE UP TIPS

i used to say that i was dumb i couldn't do the things he could.
but listen here you boy i don't need nothing from you.
don't buy a zine that says to you that you have to wear makeup.
dont buy a zine that says to you that you have to lose some weight.
they think that life's a surrender and so am i.
and i think it's time to make a choice do something good in your life.
i need no boys i can use my own mind. i need nothing from you. didn't learn anything today don't wanna go to school. i can learn with the news i can learn reading a book. don't buy a zine that says to you
"what's wrong about playing with boys".
dont buy a zine that says to you "the world is made of love and joy"

POWERPLAY KITE
i don't wanna hear your fucken judgement about me.
you generalize people, facts and my fucken attitude.
you pretend it's a world that doesn't belong to no one but you.
who are you to tell me that i can't? what am i supposed to be in your head?
you want to satisfy your fucken crusty family thoughts.
i'm not a doll i'm not your maid i'm not this thing you hate.
i just can't live in this invisible cage. you are the worst friend that i ever had.
you were in my fairy dreams i would never forget.
she looks like a princess but she keeps on chasing me.
i'm not quite sure but i know one day i'll really love her. no girl cry.

PATRIARCHAL LAWS
they thaught me "to be a woman is no more than bein' a wife". i see no more chains on my legs and my arms no more. they thaught me "to be free is to take a walk with your man". but i thaught myself that i'm free i'm powerful i can think and i choose. three things you should learn: riot grrrl will never die. every girl is a riot grrrl. stop boys violence. i just wanna fight against all white straight boys. i'll squeeze every drop of my blood to the revolution. justify rape is to girl a girl twice. patriarchal laws there's no freedom it's just a sick world.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO JUMP
all the rage still burns inside. girl gathering girl gathering now i feel the strength i see with these eyes. i don't wanna separate i just heard this before we're a threat to some boys and we're not afraid. you say we wanna be a part of it but i'm that "lifeless thing" you thought it would never move but i did it and now crucify me cuz i didn't "behave". it was the first time i saw that stereotyped hate stamped in your face. this scene thing i just don't believe all we want is girl unity.

REDIAL

Sometimes when you're lonely, don't you see me here? I'm just this voice talking... Talking alone, comforting you... Yesterday i danced for you and i danced so bad coz you were not there; i'm here for you, i'll warm you, i'll hug you... When you see me going, please don't let me go. (when will we know) our true love is inside, inside of everyone i know. Why do we hate who once we've loved? The space that keeps us from that perfect kiss... The longest feeling we have just shared will kill us all. I'm just too tired, i'm still waiting... for me, you're only mine. But it's not just what it seems.

BETRAYING
I thought that i was suffering-proof, but i am not. All i see afterall is pain when it reaches my thoughts. When i thought i was free, i suffered even more. I thought that i was suffering proof, but i am not. So please leave me a letter before you go, i want you here with me, coz i'll miss you so. I am so sad, i am so alone,i feel even more sad when my friends are gone.
Look what you've done to me, you're my friend! If you were someone that i hate wouldn't hurt this much, you're older than me but i want to be your friend. Don't let me cry before you say that you hate this image of mine. These tears break the image of the real you. Sorry for being born yesterday.
