Including interviews with classic punk groups like The Raincoats and The Slits, as well as household names like Bjork and Beth Ditto, this timely celebration of the best female bands will show the music press that ignoring girl bands is a major oversight. 'Fascinating, diverse and, most importantly, inspiring - the title alone is as much a rallying cry as a joyous statement of truth.' Zoe Street Howe, author of Typical Girls? The Story Of The Slits and other music titles 'It's exhilarating to learn about different generations of female musicians from such diverse, strong voices.' Kathleen Hanna 'A very important and timely contribution to the debate about "women in rock". All-girl bands have too often been written off as novelties, and this exciting book sheds new light on an under researched area'. Lucy O'Brien, She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop & Soul Zusammenfassung A first celebration of girl bands in many genres With a unique focus on the talented girl bands of the past fifty years New perspectives on each genre - from 60s motown groups to 70s prog rock and punk to 80s protest music! 90s queecore! riot grrrl and beyond.
