Red Aunts "Drag"

I love the tracks "Sleeping In The Wet Spot" & "Teach Me To Kill"! But even more, I love "Sex Zombie"! This song starts off with, and ends with "spooky sounds". These samples came off of a 12" vinyl record called Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House. I can't stress enough how influential this band is to me. Happy Halloween!

"Mommi, I'm A Misfit" - Tragics

This tune is full of energy and fun. Live a misfit, die a misfit.
I found this track on disc 9 of a reference of female fronted punk (1977-1989). Download that shit.
Take care & enjoy this track...and if anyone has this 7" email me! I want to hear the rest.

The Groodies all-female punk

I went to a Groodies show on my birthday one year. It was cold & I had a hard time finding the place. It was my first time @ Logan Square Auditorium (Chicago). At the time I was singing w/the hardcore-punk band, Help Me Help Me I Can't Breath. We had played some shows together & I was blown away each time. Before we played together, I had seen The Groodies @ some pizza pub in Buffalo Grove. They were still in high school @ the time. They rocked the roof off that place. They may one day be featured on my other blog, all-female bands. But for now, enjoy these rare tracks from one of Chicago-land's best all-female punk bands. This "secret" e.p. was put out after their s/t CD came out & before their "Hands Off My Stereo!" e.p. was released. It seems like you can still buy these two releases at Interpunk. Enjoy!

The Groodies - 3 song e.p.

Distillers - City Of Angels e.p.

I forgot to mention that I saw The Distillers @ Warped Tour as well; great band! After The Distillers put out their 2nd full-length album (Sing Sing Death House), they started to get some air-play. A single for "City of Angels" was released in The Netherlands in 2002. Here's the one song ("Solvent") that was only available on this e.p.

Distillers - Solvent

[EDIT; "Solvent" is actually a song written by Sourpuss, Brody's band before the Distillers.  Download the Sourpuss album here.]

The Start

I know a great deal of female-fronted bands. I have too many to name. But speaking of the start, there was a female-fronted band called "The Start." Saw them years back @ Warped Tour. Yeah, I used to go to Warped Tour. 3 best bands I saw @ Warped Tour; Lo-Ball, The Muffs, & The Start. Everything else was mediocre. [EDIT; forgot to mention that seeing The Distillers @ Warped Tour was also great.]
