Post Punk girl bands...trying to compile.

[howardfinkel]

Alright, so here's what I've got. Any help much appreciated:

Slits
Ut
The Raincoats
Au Pairs
Kleenex
Lene Lovich
Waitresses
Lydia Lunch /Teenage Jesus & Jerks
Annie Anxiety
Modettes
Erase Errata
Judy Nylon
Essential Logic
The Bloods
ESG
Chicks on Speed
Les Georges Leningrad
Siouxsie & Banshees
Y Pants
Malaria!
Gramme
Rogers Sisters
Liliput
Nina Hagen
Bush Tetras
Pulsallama
Inflatable Boy Clams

Liliput and Kleenex are basically the same, less threats of legal action, aren't they?

Try early 80s NZ band Marie & The Atom too, like you'll ever have a chance... but they're amazing anyway.

Oh man, I just looked again and realised you got a whole bunch of 20-year-post-punk bands, so you can probably find hundreds now, I thought you meant original period ones!

[howardfinkel]

Ha yeah for some reason I added Liliput later, as if Kleenex wasn't enough, I dunno.

And yeah, I was going to stick to orig. period ones only, but I started compiling a few who aren't and then my guidelines kinda faded a bit. I still am looking more for orig. period but any excellent new bands (like Rogers Sisters or Erase Errata) can fit into the list.

this morning, I threw into the mix: Maximum Joy (former Glaxo Babies)


And I shall check out Marie & The Atom, Thx for the recommendation!

[Almanzo]

Mars?
Pylon for sure.

[davy]

pylon is a great call.

and you might as well add the b-52's while you're at it (at least the first album).

[On Reflection]

Not that I've heard anything by them, but Delta 5.

[howardfinkel]

Thx, dunno how I could forget Delta 5.

Pylon + B52s added.

Oh and I'm securing this Marie & The Atom, hoping it'll be a fun listen

[Bogle]

Some Japanese groups:

Aunt Sally (Aunt Sally)
Zelda (Umetate, To Ra Wa Re, Ash-La)
Mizutama Shobodan (Onibi)

G-Schmitt (Farewell)
Non Band (Duncan Dancin')
Cioccolatta (Sandwichman)

[Maaik]

Uzeda

[rockmeamadeus]

the Raincoats.

ohhh yeah.

[Andrew_TSKS]

if siouxsie and the banshees count, shouldn't x-ray spex as well? everything other than "oh bondage up yours" is a good ways from straightforward punk.

[howardfinkel]

Hm I dunno whether the solution is to take away siouxsie or add x-ray spex.

[Andrew_TSKS]

more bands is better than less bands. have them both!

Is that punk, instead of post-punk? 

I was thinking of all those bands on Crass Records like Honey Bane, Poison Girls, and Lost Cherries...but then I thought that they were more punk than post-punk.  Also, Witchknot, for a more contemporary name.  I used to be really into all those bands, and I suppose they still have their moments.

But yes, X Ray Spex are fabulous.

I am not sure if I know the purest definition of "post-punk" and i don't care so don't tell me, but what about Mr. Airplane Man

Ha thx for the offering but I think I'm gonna steer clear of garage-y stuff as much as I love me some Girls In The Garage volumes 1 through whatever..

One of the local college radio stations has a post punk show called "Whatever You Call It."

[old kentucky shark]

mag & the suspects!

[Heathcote]

http://www.myspace.com/kitchenandtheplasticspoons - amazing swedish band

[narlus]

danielle dax/lemon kittens?

live skull?

[graham]

The Flying Lizards had some cool dubby stuff.  They had a moderately popular version of "Money (That's What I Want)" but most of their stuff was better than that.

And Bjork's old band KUKL was pretty cool as well.

[mrwednesday]

Can we reach into riot grrl? 
If so, Sleater Kinney, L7, Babes in Toyland.

[elpollodiablo]

What about 7 Year Bitch for chrissakes
