1990s Indie girl band

[Fetchez la vache]

Echobelly were great, and featured about as many women as the other girl bands featured on this thread

[Yugguy]

The Donnas:







And they ROCK. Who invited you?

[Crow555]

There was also Kenickie who was front by the lovely Lauren Laverne. There was other girls in the band but the jury are still out on whether they were really binmen in drag.

Laverne went on to sing on a Mint Royale single (the folks who remixed the music for singing in the rain for the VW Golf GTi advert) but mainly does TV work now.

They;re not indie
They're not from the 90s
They're not even going any more

But have a look at Bond:

Lush are another forgotten girl-fronted 90s indie band - Ladykiller is a great track.

I used to think Miki Berenyi was gorgeous;

I saw them live once, they were technically good, but no stage presence, no audience interaction, no life, no sign that they were enjoying themselves.

Kenicke were great, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queen Adrena have been well worth seeing.

Have this one on me.

Agreed, the one on the left is nice, the rest I'm not so sure about!

Most of the bands on this thread are not girl bands at all and if just one member of the band has to be a girl then I nominate Transvision Vamp, obviously.

All girl, the recently defunct Faders were good ('Look At Me Now' in particular), but as a favourite I'd have to go for The GoGos with The Runaways a close second.

Here's Jane Weidlin from The GoGos doing her biggest hit (in a short skirt....)

Shonen Knife.

Crikey, thought I was the only one who had heard of them. Bear Up Bison, Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner, Baka Guy. Most entertaining!

Agreed, the one on the left is slightly less rank than the rest, otherwise they're hideous munters who should be shot.

This is a good one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQFo2-xZiks

I wonder why girls are so st at forming bands. Enough of them like music and seem keen to be pop stars. You'd think a few would at least try playing their own music.

"Undertow" is one the best shoegazing songs, ever.

Not a girl group, the drummer was Lauren's brother. One of the other members of the group wasn't bad looking.

In your car

Lauren Laverne didn't front Kenickie, she shared lead vocals with Marie du Santiago who was the better singer and leads on there biggest singles (e.g. Nightlife)

not exactly a girl group (only two out of four band members were not geezers) but, for certain neighbour baiting, speaker shuddering bass and incredibly coherent noise and racket:


CURVE


- best track - track 2, 'Horror Head' from the album 'Doppleganger' = Toni Halliday 'sings' a gaspy, breathy, "heyyyy, heyyy, hee-eeeyyyy, heeey-ay" and then a thundering bass line by Dean Garcia that just makes your ears bleed...


t'other girl was called Debbie and was a 9-bob guitarist and who went on to be in Echobelly for a while after Curve stopped being Curve. I think Toni Halliday is probably still raking the black eyeliner out of her lids to this day... she was almost a 'media puppet product' in the 80's - but the least said about that 'music' would be for the best...

They were starting to be popular in the early 1990's - saw them at the Town & Country and missed seeing them at least twice afterwards... have got (cue the music groupie voice) "ALL their records!!" and Toni Halliday was, if not some pretty, pretty gurl, then definitely a darker shade of 'I would, I definitely would, yes, oh yes'...
