The Au Pairs, Stepping Out of Line

Dave Simpson
Friday May 12, 2006
The Guardian



History has recognised the innovative brilliance of the Gang of
Four, but overlooked the Au Pairs' similarly significant feminist,
social-commenting agit-funk. Formed in 1978, the significance of
their two girl/two boy/lesbian/straight line-up was matched with
lyrics as brave as any from the post-punk period: tackling
subjects as then taboo as menstruation, tranquilliser addiction
and male domination. It's weird to think that only 20 years ago
Diet's "He works the car/ I wash the sink/ I'm not here to think"
was typical of many households and perhaps still is. This 2CD
anthology collects their two albums alongside sessions: their
music hasn't dated a jot. Like an imaginary collision of the Go4,
Slits and disco, topped by Lesley Wood's strident vocals, they
created to a heady, insightful femme punk funk that is ripe for
rediscovery.
