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

[anderson <anderstoone AT yahoo.com>]

Hi,

As has come up here in the past:

German women's festival in summer 1981 @ the Tempodrum Berlin was called 
Venus Weltklang and was the First EVER international Womens rock fest.

LP on Flame records, nearly all of it online here:

The Bloods
Unknown Gender
Liliput
Malaria!
were also on the bill, Raincoats were not. 

I have a scan of the review that came out in the NME on my facebook here and 
the album cover:

A Toone ex-Blood
