Hey Glenn, Do you remember the name of the woman who performed, I think, in the mid to late eighties as a punk performance artist; usually her 'shows' would consist of running around naked and ranting? Some journalist called her 'the female gg allin'?

that's not much to go on. anything else.

Hmmm..let me think..

Was she American??

A band or solo artist??

Closets I could come up with was Wendy O. Williams...but she was no GG Allin....at all....RIP.....both of them....

Nothing is really coming to mind...

Another I'm trying to think of was a female singer (late 70's). She had just 1 7" replease with a piano playing through punk songs/guitars etc. I cant remember her name but she was one of the more obscure original punks. About the times of the pistols damned etc. Blond hair. Very pretty face and Psitols type image.

Laurie....ummm....she did Superman....aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa.....

Laurie Anderson? I don't remember her being nekked tho...

here she is now...

Hrm..not Wendy O, not Lydia Lunch (I don't think she ever got naked..) I think she was American.. I bought a picture of her from a photographer for Flipside; if I can find it I'll post it. She had shoulder length brown hair, and was smeared with something..ack!!

googled "female GG Allin" and got this...

Texas Terri and the Stiff Ones

Eat Shit!

Burning Tree

Ahhh, I open the package and there's a promotional photograph of the band... a bunch of leather-clad toughs who look like they live for rock and roll. What's this in between them? A naked woman?! Catchy, that... Oh, that's Terri, the frontwoman. Very cool. (It helps that she's "hot," too.)

At first glance or word-of-mouth I'd expect this record to attempt aping the Mentors, what with the nudity and that additional photo of Terri (nude) covered with what look like powdered-sugar doughnuts gracing the CD. But before listening to it, I read the promo material, and besides being into rock and roll, apparently Terri does the nails of the rich and famous as well as performing nude, sort of a female G.G. Allin thing without the excrement.

I had to hear it! So, on it went... Not what I expected. Sure there's some slutrock, but the majority of the album is ass-kicking New York Dolls' style punk rock! I mean this is raw punk, REALLY raw, with high-fives to Iggy Pop and the Dictators (they cover "Baby Let's Twist"). I was thoroughly into their energetic trash punk songs like "Cave Women" ("I'm a Cave women/ my soul is raw/ just like the meat I eat... "), Sad Life ("My mom killed and cooked the family cat... "), and "Oh Yeah!" which is a punk rock love anthem. This cranks, man. Apparently they tour (I just missed them) with a sort of tatooedtrashbondagefest Halloween show.

That was my guess too, Gidge. Great minds, eh?
