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.
Julia Downes invites musicians, promoters and high profile artists to discuss their favourite girl bands: not the type who sing along to backing tracks - the real musicians, who can actually play their instruments. 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.
