Friday Night is Girl Group Music Night

[wafflycat]

Especially for FM...

 

[Kirstie]

No links to youtube because my broadband is too slow, but feel free to find clips by Belly, Throwing Muses, Kristen Hirsch and The Breeders...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

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

You don't have to apologise for The Breeders! I've seen the Deals play several times and that's one of my favourite songs...

Here's another almost forgotten indie rocker from the early 90's. The Voodoo Queens

The Throwing Muses - another blast from the past

This is "Not Too Soon" by them Kirstie if you can't get it. The Breeders I've already done as you can see

Cannonball would go to my desert island (when Radio 4 finally get round to asking me on - I don't know why they're dithering)

Searched for Belly on Youtube but couldn't find anything (other than a million vids of peoples' bellies

Here is some real girl power. Ask yourself why she dances like she does...

Another blast from the past - Bored Housewife by The Androids of Mu

I think I was one of about 12 people in the world that bought the album. Good stuff though.

Apologies for the sound quality - they probably recorded the album for about £20

I'm liking this thread FM - loads of stuff I haven't heard in ages

(No offence Noodley by the way, I similarly enjoy your Friday night music threads for the same reasons)

Hey Cubist - I came within an inch of posting this too

Instead I chose an earlier Slits song (on page 1). Essential stuff.

Wow that's cool

I notice the Japanese word for dancing seems to be.. dancing

Unless it's a fiendishly difficult to pronounce word that even the Nolans couldn't manage

Good effort by them though if it really is them singing in Japanese (which I presume it is)

Hey - I love Noodley's music nights.

I also have this vision of Noodley for some reason as a sh*t-hard Scot who'd come down and kick my head in, if necessary

Say it aint so Noodley

 

[mangaman]

No-one's mentioned Bananarama who were the most succesful girl band ever I believe

Here's my fav.
