Kimberly, I think these views are more than just based on girl groups in the US, please do consider what´s happening over here in Europe too! We are at it full on and don´t see things as negatively as you do. Anyway, MTV has very rarely supported or played good music, so who cares about this mass mentality, we have other ways of getting attention and having our great music infiltrate the boring domains of male music. Lets support who´s out there now and move forwards together! A few Women´s groups and solo acts, performing, reforming or just new to the scene in europe: The SLits The Raincoats Anat Ben David Alaska kevin Blechdom Planningtorock Tina Weymouth (releases over here quite often) Angie Reed Gudrun Gut Miss Kittin The Long Blondes Bjork Siouxsie Sioux Gustav Pam Hogg Rhythem King and Her Friends Danni Sicilliano Chloe Ann Shenton Chicks on Speed Las Perras Del Inferno Michaela Melian Vivian Goldman Peaches Elle Bandita The Pipettes Robots in Disguise Piney Geer Francoise Cactus Cobra Killer Catriona Shaw Electralane The Girl Monster Orchestra Die Braut Haut ins Auge This is not including the huge number of female dj´s that would be another 100 or more names, at least! Electric INdigo has a site under the title: female pressure, its been around for a long time, she also just released a cd comp oozing with things of the female kind. is there a data base with all these acts, maybe this should be created, so we can all get a clear overview of whats happening in the world of women´s music right now. oh and to celebrate women´s music ...... we just released the GIRL MONSTER 12" and the cd with 60 songs is available end of Sept, worldwide.
