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

[Nicole Emmenegger <nicole AT jennywoolworth.ch>]

Well, "wowmen" was coined by Dafne and Noga, the two main organisers of the festival. The charm and wit of the word play really sums up the attitude of the project.

Oh and I have featured Wet Dog, Maria and the Mirrors and Phoebe Jean on my blog, have a search...

Thanks for the props Joly! You're pay-off is in the post ;)

hi all - just a head's up about a festival I am helping to organize here in

London called MOTHER. It' a three day affair featuring female-led

punkindiepoprock bands happening from Thursday 20 May - Saturday 22 May.

The line-up includes bands that I am really rather fond of such as Wet Dog,

Maria and the Mirrors, Normal Love and Phoebe Jean & Kirikoo Des. Some of

the other performers are Molly Nilsson,  Iori’s Eyes, Mary and the Baby

Cheeses, The Konki Duet, PENS,  Kelli Rudick and Vera November.

Check the website for more info on the line-up and the whole concept behind

the festival: www.motherfestival.com. Join the facebook group for updates:

questions, requests or what not. And please spread the word!
