It's not quite lady-oriented, but um, its post-punk. If you can make it, that would be awesome.

TROUBLE EVERYDAY (Soon to be on tour with The Killers!)
http://www.trouble-everyday.com/
LISTEN: http://www.troubleeveryday.com/Days_vs_Nights.mp3
The latest princes of the underground to shake things up in the City of Brotherly Love are Trouble Everyday. In less than a year they have managed to make their presence known with their own version of post punk, beat heavy, angular rock n roll. Trouble Everyday is rapidly gathering attention as one of the most exciting live acts in Philadelphia. Crafting hook driven anthems to make you shake your ass, the bands formula of driving guitars, heavy bass and drum beats and
call-and-response style vocals make them a force to be reckoned with on stage. Recommended for fans of Fugazi, Gang of Four, Sonic Youth and Ikara Colt.

MEDIUM MEDIUM (Cherry Red Records, England - First Philly performance in 21 years)
http://www.mediummedium.com/
LISTEN: http://mediummedium.com/music/MediumMedium_HungrySoAngry-single.mp3
Medium Medium, formed in England in 1978 and recently reunited for the first time in 21 years, were early innovators of what is now variously referred to as punk funk, no wave, death disco, disco punk, or neo-dance music, paving the way for the current wave of early 1980s-influenced bands. The band's groundbreaking second single, "So Hungry, So Angry," made influential Village Voice music critic Robert Christgau's best-of-the-year "Dean's List" in 1981, entered the Billboard Disco Top 50 that same year, and "introduced scads of young bassists to the popping bass line." (Salon.com)

DRAGON CITY
http://www.geocities.com/mantistown/
LISTEN: http://plainparade.org/dragon_city/Track_02.mp3
Dragon City includes ex-members of the Persons and the Clocks and generally pays impressive tribute to the gods of shoegaze like Ride, Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine. Two of the three songs on the band's demo top eight minutes, splitting that time evenly between meditation and turbulence. Even when affecting the snarl of '60s psychedelia, Dragon City is both maddening and fascinating in its opaqueness. (Doug Wallen, PW)
