Guest allsystemsfail Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 And while not strictly punk (though they were strongly linked with the anarcho punk community), I'm also gonna say Back To The Planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kryys With No 'X' Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Sleater Kinney;Not strictly punk in their sound, but certainly in their ethos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Lora McFarlane from SK played (with 99) at Drakes in 1999. The band with which I was involved back then - Collateral Damage, supported.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 For me, it would have to be Health Hazard's Mandy. HH played up here in 1994 and I couldn't believe it when this softly-spoken woman introduced the first song politely, then barked like hell down the mic. Top notch.

Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Any favourite female fronted punk bands? Here are mine:Vice SquadRubella BalletMankind?Hagar The WombLost CherreesLife CycleBis and ATR had some awesome female vocal led tracks. Anyway, why do female punk bands often have such obviously gender-loaded names? Okay, I know why, just seems a bit of a cliche in some ways. Muh, shut up me.

Guest allsystemsfail Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 X Ray SpexThe SlitsThe RaincoatsEssential LogicPoison GirlsDolly MixtureMarine GirlsShop Assistants(last 2 only tenuously punk)You like Poison Girls? Cool. Did you catch them on the occasions they made it up here? While I discovered them way back, I only really began to fully appreciate how good a band they were until much later. I saw them in London 1995 as part of Vi's 60th birthday celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you catch The Nightingales at the Three Of A Different Kind show at the 62 Club in 1984? Anarcho outfits Omega Tribe and Toxic Shock played that night too. Me? I missed it.
