The Truth About Pauley Perrette's Band

Pauley Perrette, a criminologist by trade with an MBA from Valdosta State College in the subject, per CBS, first worked her way into our hearts when she played the beloved Abby Sciuto on "NCIS." And though she's no longer on the show, Perrette can still be seen on past episodes of the crime procedural drama since it's in syndication. Unfortunately, fans of the show won't see any new episodes featuring Abby, as Perrette tweeted in 2019 that she does not plan to return. "NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?) I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it," she wrote. The tweet refers to the fallout Perrette had with Harmon before she left "NCIS."

Despite the disturbing reason for her departure from "NCIS," Perrette is still a beloved actor. Fortunately, there are other ways to show her support, and fans will be delighted to know that she also has a band they can check out. Keep reading to find out more about Perrette's musical collective.

Pauley Perrette — who went by "Pauley P." in the band — isn't just a gimmicky singer. According to its Last.FM profile, Perrette's pop punk band, Lo-Ball, has had music featured in "Legally Blonde" and the former MTV reality show "Undergrads." Perrette served as the lead singer of the collective, which was rounded out by J.C. on the rhythm guitar, Lissa on the lead guitar, Katie on the bass, and Claudia on the drums. The band has not been active since the 2000s, and in 2011, Perrette called it her "former band."

These days, Perrette is spending her time rescuing animals and sharing her thoughts on Twitter. Back in July 2020, she tweeted she is completely retired from acting. "I'M NOT ON FB or IG. THIS twitter account here @PauleyP is my ONLY ONE! I'm HAPPILY RETIRED! Finally! Woot! All I ever wanted! I raise #RescueDogs & plants," she wrote. "I retired after NCIS but BROKE was important, beautiful.I did my last dance & am proud of it! Everyone that knows me knew I was retiring right after. I'm proud of my work. I love you guys! I AM FREE!!! (To be the tiny little simple human I am!)," she continued in a second tweet.

It seems like Perrette is living her best retired life — and yes, we are here for this version her.
