Vicki Blue auditioned for the Runaways after bassist Jackie Fox left the band in the summer of 1977. She did well in her audition and became the Runaways' new bassist. Blue was credited for played bass on the Runaways third studio album, Waitin' for the Night (1977); however, Kim Fowley would not allow her to play bass and had Sal Maida play bass on that record instead. Despite that, she toured with them from fall of 1977 to late 1978. Blue left the band when they started recording And Now... The Runaways. She was credited for playing bass on that album but did not play on it at all. Blue sang back up vocals on Girlschool's album Play Dirty released on November 8, 1983.

In 2004, Tischler-Blue released Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways. It was picked up by Showtime Networks. Rob Reiner commented, "I was mesmerized... This incredibly honest rock documentary film goes to 11". A 2010 film about the Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, and Michael Shannon cited Tischler-Blue's Edgeplay as an inspiration for elements of the film.

In 2010, Tischler-Blue was the executive producer of two television programs that premiered in that year, El Guitarrista and The Rarebirds. Tischler-Blue produced the official music video for Suzi Quatro's "Strict Machine", a track from her album In the Spotlight (2011). This track is a cover of Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine", but Quatro's version of the song contains two extra lines from her own number one hit "Can The Can" (in order to show the similarity of the two songs' tunes). On November 16, 2011, the official music video was released via the SUZI QUATRO OFFICIAL YouTube channel. It includes live footage from Quatro's 2011 Rocks The Spotlight Tour of Australia and the extra two lines from "Can The Can".
