at the weekend, I was sitting listening to my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son talking about music and singing their favourite songs. One Direction and all the usual kid stuff came out. Then to my total surprise they started singing a tune. I'm sitting saying...I know that tune, what is it? Turns out it was 'Viva La Revolution' The Addicts. both have mp3 players and I put stuff on every now and again to make sure 'its never too early', haha. brilliant. Really made my weekend. A great introduction to punk rock i'm sure you'll agree???

In a coffin!

How do you get out?

How do you get out?

And Maximum Rock'n'roll !!! My friend imported it to sell it all over italy, and I don t think he ever made a cent on it , but I had my fresh copy every month. Another friend also from my city, wrote the Italian column very often. I visited the headquarters and met Tim the owner later.. a sweetie!!

Ps... Ah, the ROIR catalogue✨

I was still in middle school, in Italy, and Bowie posters splattered my bed room walls.. Sunday lunchtime tv those days showed a cool music show, and that s where I saw all the first british punk invasion of '77. I saw the Sex Pistols... They made sense to me!!!!Weeks later I gave myself a spiky haircut.. that caused ongoing family fights..if I had gone out naked it would have caused less of a shock...people was rude and nasty.. then I bought the S Pistols lp at the local department store, ( true, you could get punk records easily then) and the Ramones.. Bowie has gathered dust ever since...a few years later there were 5 of us in the city, and a punk band, still active to this day.. I got a bass....as my punk mates started to lean towards new wave, I met up with new punks, and now it s 1984 I think, and hardcore is HUGE, and a punk club opens in the nearby city, and that s where I ended up hanging out all the time. Saw bands from all over the world in that epic place. And I was with likeminded friends at last. I saw DIY in action when it didn t have a name. I never found so much comraderie. We are still in touch. All of us. It s a strong and secret legacy,kinda feels as if we did fight at war together , and in a way we did. And it was magic, just being a part. I was the only deviant and then suddenly there are more, and we re a family, and I m not a deviant anymore, I'm a superhero. Punk is self empowering. There are great punk bands today that I know thanks to my younger friends. They are super heroes, too. Punk is good for them And beware, there could be an angry young punk behind any lovedoll, nerd, or mentally retarded looking type...

Lora Logic was gone , by the time of X-Ray Spex's first album (She was in the band ca, 76 - 77 , but their first LP did'nt come out 'til 1978.).. She skronked up a storm , tho'.

Logic and Styrene both joined The Hare Krishnas
 , though , it seems Styrene was the more devoted of the two , though , eventually returning to Secular music , in the '90's , with "Conscious Consuner " , X- Ray Spex's  second and final official LP.  Lora Logic also appeared on that CD , and in the "ex - Ray Spex' lineup , which recieved top billing at the Holidays in The SUN FESTIVAL IN '96 , despite Poly Styrene having been ousted from her own band.
Katie Dubz said:

Lora Logic is great! I really enjoy the band she put together after being booted from Spex...Essential Logic!! I think there was a couple dudes that came after her to play sax in X-Ray Spex but neither could match that coltish self-taught sound she brought to their first album.

 I can't think of that many , besides Mark Lindsay. When The Raiders were still more of a Frat Rock group , he was honkin' his horn a'plenty , and , later on the recited smoocher "Melody For an Unknown Girl.",  already out of date for it's time. I saw Mark in 2001 , and he was wailin' sax on numbers like "You Can't Sit Down" and "Night Train". Of course , The Raiders' "Louie" was more sax - driven , too. I'm not good on names . The Wailers had a couple of great sax players , inc. the guy who played with them in later years , when they stormed the Ponderosa Stomp. He killed !

 

Screamin' Jay played a pretty mean sax , himself , as did Ray Charles. Dave Hill from The Treniers , who's still alive and well , Dave "Bubba" Mitchell , from Milt Trenier's band , also still alive and CRAZY , as he nears his 90th Year , Earl Bostic , Louis Jordan ,  Lonnie Youngblood , The late , great , Sam Butera , Bobby Keyes , of course , Gordon from The Fleshtones , God Rest His Soul , Lora Logic from X- Ray Spex and Red Krayola , and her successor in the first band - Forgot his name - And ,who's the cat from The Pastel Six? I saw him sit in with Sky Saxon and The Seeds , it worked , too ! , Jesse Scinto , who's a younger guy , is keeping the honkin' sax tradition going , but , he does'nt seem to play much , these days....

Atomic Bitchwax, Black Nasa, Orange Goblin, Monster Magnet, Kyuss, St. Vitus, Raging Slab, Unida, ..did I just turned myself in?

First punk show: summer of 1980 999 in Cleveland oh.. last punk shows : The Queers, Matt Freeman, 7 Seconds, Italy. Best punk show in between: all of them!

I came into this world
as a puzzled panther
waiting to be caged
but something stood in the way
i was never quite tamed
Darby Crash

Vicky Tafoya & the Vengeants?

I missed one of your criteria - The Monofones aren't American - oops!  Here's a few amazing and relatively new female-fronted bands:

The Woolly Bandits (from Los Angeles, with Sky Saxon's former backing band)

A Giant Dog (Texas)

Persian Claws (Vermont)

The Love Me Nots (Arizona)

And you're probably familiar with Shannon and the Clams.

Now that I think about it,  there's an impressive number of women in the garage punk scene nowadays.

As far as female-fronted garage punk, two of my current favorites are right here on the Hideout.  Highly recommended!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (I was at this show, they were dynamite!)

And from Switzerland, The Monofones (awesome fuzz guitar!):

Hi there, for Cramps type bands there's a great Japanese female punk rock 'n' roll band called The 5678s who are great if you've never checked them out. Also, as dave recommended, The Scientists are great - also the first album Kim Salmon made after the Scientists with his band The Surrealists called 'Hit Me With the Surreal Feel' - has some cool, lo-fi cramps style covers of 50s-early 60s stuff.

For more female-fronted garage punk, there was a great band in Bangkok a while ago called Pussy and the Learjets - there are some cool clips of them on YouTube and they released one 7'' single with Metal Postcard Records.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations, it's a shame though that the Scientists and Gore Gore Girls are already disbanded (hopefully there are more bands like them active these days) but anyways I really appreciate it.

If there are any more current female fronted/all female garage rock/punk bands I'd love to hear them too (but by that I don't mean to let the bands with guys out!).

No!  "Murder City Nights"!

Show #413: "Bands & Artists Starting With M, Part 7"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "M". This is the seventh time I've drawn the letter "M", so I will start from where I left off on show #6 (which was with Merriday Park). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "M" like: Merrilee & The Turnabouts, Max Merritt & The Meteors, The Merry Dragons, The Merry-Go-Round, Merryweather, The Merseybeats, The Merseys, 2 different Messengers, The Meters, Methuselah, Michael & The Messengers, Michael & The Mumbles, Michaelangelo, Lee Michaels, Mickey & Sylvia, The Mickey Finn, Middle Of The Road, 2 different Midknights, Midnight Circus, The Midnight Snack, Midnight Sun, Midsommar, The Mighty Avengers, Mighty Baby and many others!!

There was a young girl, maybe  15, saw the zine and asked 'is that like Radio What Wave??' I was kinda shocked and answered yes and she was familiar with the show and said it was one of her faves!! And we thought it was only old guys reliving their youth listening to this show!! Or maybe it was just a dream....after all it was kind of a long day sitting at the table.

19. Black Jasper...Just Die Fast...from the Scum Of The Moon CD. Black Jasper are Jasper and King Khan playing 70's KBD punk rock.
