Help me show my daughter that girls rock just as well as boys

I don't know if they are still going but they were good and held their own back in the day, I saw them a couple of times.
 
To be honest my tastes have moved on from rock in general, but here's some guitar tiktokkers I follow.

I've just been stalking Nita Strauss who has now left Alice Cooper and am not keen on what she appears to be doing now. Anyway, bit old, but just found this Various - She Rocks
As much as I liked Nita with Alice I'd have to say I preferred Orianthi with Alice out of the two ladies. I saw them on the Halloween night of fear gig, excellent :)
 
I saw The Early Mornings on Saturday.

Would recommend.

That ^^ is a video of them playing live at the Shacklewell Arms last year.

Can’t find a live that will play over here, so here’s one of their videos.

 
I like them much better live.

I will check out Courtney Barnett.

Yeah, some bands are just really made for live performances. I thought they were alright, just needed more of a spark for me to get hooked in, which might very well be there when they're playing live.

Going to see Death Valley Girls tonight, supported by local punk band Dinky Bossetti (fronted by a trans woman). No idea if the former have been posted here yet but I'm pretty certain the latter won't have been. Will report back if anyone's interested.
 
there was a few female drummers in the documentary "count me in" I watched on netflix the other day including Samantha Maloney who stood in for Motley Crue for a few month amongst other things.

Forgot to do this didn't I :facepalm: It was fantastic. Death Valley Girls all seem about 15 (to an old git like me, at least) but they definitely rock, in a suitably SoCal too-cool-to-really-break-a-sweat kinda way.



Couldn't find Dinky Bossetti online - you'll have to see them live. I thought they were going to be Riot Grrlly but it was more at the fun, Buzzcocks end of punk. Good stuff.
