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

["Dina Hornreich" <dinahornreich AT earthlink.net>]

Dear Friends of TG:

 

I've recently been lucky enough to see the DVDs of _The Young Ones_ -- the British TV series from the early 80s. On the show, they frequently have a guest band perform: Motorhead, Madness, The Damned, Dexy's Midnight Runners, etc. In fact, on the TG front, 2 bands appeared on the show: Amazulu (new to me, cute and fun) and Rip Rig + Panic (gotta hear more RRP).

 

Does anyone know if that was that a young (pre-Buffalo Stance) Neneh Cherry in RRP? This woman's appearance was so different that I was left with a strong feeling that it could not have been Neneh... The music kicked butt, regardless. And I enjoyed the show itself as well -- "butt burp" jokes and all... (blech)

 

:-P

 

 

-Dina
