    Now this post should bring many views into the open, are they considered 'punk', have they that presence etc. I may well have forgotten some so feel free to add any, the list is very small. I say the jury is still out on Juliette Lewis, to my mind she could well crack it, super show at the Voodoo.

    Thoughts?


    * Patti Smith - Patti Smith Group.
    * Debbie Harry - Blondie.
    * Siouxsie Sioux - Siouxsie & The Banshees.
    * Gaye Advert - The Adverts.
    * Poly Styrene - Xrayspex.
    * Plasmatics?
    * Penetration?
    * Lene Lovich.
    * Hazel O' Connor.
    * Toyah Wilcox.
    * Chrissie Hynde.
    * Kate Pierson - The B-52's.
    * Ivy Rorschach - The Cramps.
    * Cait O' Riordain - The Pogues / The Radiators / Enemigos.
    * Beki Bondage - Vice Squad / GBH.
    * Juliette Lewis - Juliette & The Licks

    Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry are cool too.

    Zip of late I am aware of, Paranoid Visions used to have a lengthy list including: Nuala Hoop / Emily / Nikki & Aisling - think they all departed the music scene years ago though.

    It's Enemigos, bass & voice, its a side project fo the reformed Radiators Plan 9, see www.theradiators.tv for their gigs etc, they did not show up at the last 2 or 3 gigs where they had support slots (SLF / Blood Or Whiskey / Other).
