The Manchester Women's Band
 PINK HOUSES is no longer performing in Greater Manchester, although we remain in touch and are on good terms. We'd like to thank all of the venues that let us onstage in recent years. We had a great time.

At the moment, Ilana plays a natural wood, Stage Custom Yamaha kit and Zildjian cymbals. She studies the martial art of Jujitsu and the teachings of the Samurai. Her background is in jazz, but she loves to play anything, and her influences span from Buddy Rich, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Skunk Anansie.
