Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Andy RRR <rrrhythmetic AT yahoo.co.uk>]

Could it be Sheila Chandra? She was a child actress who then sang with the Anglo-Asian band Monsoon (they had a hit around 1980 called 'Ever So Lonely' which drew heavily on a Kinks song), and since then she's been a solo artiste, drawing on traditional music from India and elsewhere (including Celtic folk music) as well as a smattering of 60s psychedelia. Maybe she made that record you found before joining Monsoon? Can't see her doing no-wavey stuff, though, really.
