I don't think I'm into any bands that have an all girl roster. Then again... I'm not into many bands with all male members either. It would seem like 90% of my favorite bands have a mix of men and women (or at least did at one point).

marleypumpkin 07.18.2008 11:51 AM

STP
Babes In Toyland
Shonen Knife

I can't think of them all at the moment.

thats one of the many great things about no wave. one of the few movements of extreme music that was totally co-ed. there are both male and female legends of no wave.

gallhammer is good, much better than i expected them to be. i like thier crust punk stuff best.

i will always have a soft spot for bikini kill.

the slits
the runaways

Savage Clone 07.18.2008 03:11 PM

The Smiths

atsonicpark 07.18.2008 03:43 PM

seriously, you'd do yourself all a favor by checking out bleachmobile, otherwise known as bleach'03. i'll try to dig through my albums and see if i still have one of their albums. its really ridiculously hard rocking stuff.. it's like if afrirampo suddenly became this insane power trio.

is go go 7188 all girls? count them.

there was a guy in the raincoats in at least ONE of the lineups, couldnt tell you which one though. by the time of their s/t, they were certaily all women


i dont know how i forgot errase errata, i love 'nightlife' and 'at crystal palace' as much as any of the noisey art punk albums that have come out this decade. great guitar tones, great band.

i just downloaded some songs off 'detonator'. i dig it, very chaotic and free form punk rock, fem style. not so sure about the afrirampo comparison though, this band is definitley more traditionally punk rock, but just in that fucked up and wierd japanese way.

why is everything better in japan?

atsonicpark 07.18.2008 04:04 PM

Oh well the album I have, 3 girls from okinawa has a lot of the weird tradeoff afrirampo vocals and shit.. but with screaming.


and yeah can't believe i forgot erase errata either. best scissor girls tribute band ever.

Savage Clone 07.18.2008 04:08 PM

I'm as Nipponophilic as the next person, but Afrirampo have never done anything for me in the least.

I think I've heard the Donna's once and really disliked them.

was it budgie?
he was in the slits for a bit...


the spice girls kicked ass
the blonde one and the redheaded one were my favourites

Death & the Maiden 07.18.2008 09:25 PM

I just realised, do The Slits qualify as an all girl band? Budgie was their drummer, and he wasn't a girl.

Cantankerous 07.18.2008 09:34 PM

palmolive was their drummer until she left to join the raincoats

you don't see budgie standing there covered in mud with his tits out on Cut, do you?
