I’m writing an essay for college on females in music... Female bands- not very exciting? It’s supposed to be a rhetorical question just before I get slated. I’m finding these few up my street at the moment and including them, L7, Sleater Kinney, Garbage, The Kut, Hole, are there any more good ones that I’m missing?

Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, No Doubt, Pretty Girls Make Graves and The Gossip.

There's just a few off the top of my head if you want females in bands. If you mean solo also, then you've missed hundreds and hundreds.

Well, what's your angle? From the bands you've chosen so far, it looks mostly like punk-flavoured grunge to me. If that's it, maybe you could include Babes in Toyland, No Doubt and perhaps Free Kitten.

Women in punk would be more interesting I think. You could write about early female punkers from the 70s like Pattie Smith, The Raincoats, The Castrators and The Slits .. Or Siouxsie Sioux. I think they're interesting because they played punk, but they didn't do it like the guys were doing it. They definetly made it their own with a feminine touch.



The Donnas are so boring in comparison!

The best advice I can give is to write about something interesting. Girls are stupid and smell like poop.

Try Fanny (all girl group of the early 1970s - they rocked!) Bitch, Lita Ford, Girlschool, Heart and Rock Goddess.

I second The Slits - fascinating group - and try X Ray Spex too.

Is it just females in bands where there's a mix of the sexes or only female bands?

My Bloody Valentine, Patti Smith, etc. There are plenty of great female musicians and bands with female musicians.

Nina Hagen would be really interesting to write a paper on...you could probably write a paper just on her.

Joan Jett!

And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
