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

[dpbailey AT att.net]

geez ... really didn't expect to come across anyone i recognized in that (very nicely done) piece, but damn if i didn't -- had no idea martin "protag" neish was half of the instant automatons. i "knew" him (purely by email, natch) as the bassist for the excellent folkish-anarcho band blyth power (zounds/mob offshoots-of-sorts) in the mid-'90s; he sent me a couple of their cds from the uk purely out of extreme coolness.
