Antigone Four is an all-women rock band with members from New Jersey and Long Island, New York, USA. Their music is influenced by classic rock from the 1970s such as Led Zeppelin, mixed with pop overtones and at times folk and country elements. The band was previously known as Antigone Rising until mid-2008. Several members met at Bucknell University and formed in New York City's Grennwich Village in 1993, with sisters Cathy (guitar) and Kristen Henderson (drums) as the primary force, and Penelope "Peppy" Kokines taking lead vocals. Later members would include Suzanne Obolsky (backing vocals), Agona Hardison (lead vocals), Terri Avella (bass), Ann-Marie Stehn (bass), and Cassidy (lead vocals).

In the mid-1990s in New York City, the Henderson sisters re-grouped as Antigone Rising and started playing gigs, initially in Bleecker Street venues including The Back Fence, Cafe Figaro and The Bitter End with lead vocalist Cassidy, a self-taught singer who had previously sung in church , Jen Zielenbach on bass and Dena Tauriello on drums. In 2008 Cassidy left the band, and the remaining members are the current lineup of Antigone Four. The band is known for earning a dedicated fanbase very early on that follow them from concert to concert all along the East Coast and increasingly across the country.
