Friday Night is Girl Group Music Night

[Flying_Monkey]

I hope Noodley doesn't mind, but in honour of the forthcoming biopic about The Runaways, I thought this Friday Night should be Girl Group Music Might...

And here are The Runaways with Cherry Bomb (very slightly NSFW depending on your workplace's policies)

Not at all, I have been without t'internet for a couple of weeks and more by luck than anything else I seem to have managed to get online tonight. Not sure if it'll last.

Shite choice for a Friday Night Music night tho'

Remember L7 ? Not the prettiest bunch.

Did enjoy them when I was younger.

A bit of rock history...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Pure ****ed-up awesomeness from Japan like the The 5678s - I'm Blue

Babes in Toyland ?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I'm not letting you get away without some Shonen Knife, captured live recently doing their cover of The Carpenter's Top of the World.

(Astonishingly, Naoko, the singer, is almost 50! And Etsuko, the new drummer, is cute as buttons...)

This is great (pre-video era though) - The Slits / A Boring Life

Good call with Babes in Toyland - I'd forgotten them

An altogether classier act

Apologies FM but I'm going to cheat and include a band where the songs were written/sung by women (I feel I can justify it as Waffly's had the Eurythmics who had a bloke drumming)

Probably one of my favourite songs and videos ever - The Breeders / Cannonball
