Editor's note

Fanny, the all-female rock band from Sacramento.

A 1970s quartet that played hard rock and faced a novelty tag.

For a quick sense of Fanny, try "Knock On My Door" or "You've Got A Home." They give you the rock sound without the novelty act baggage.

Fanny mattered because they were one of the first all-female rock bands to release albums and tour seriously in the early '70s, when that was rare. Songs like "Think About The Children" showed they could handle social themes, not just pop fluff. They recorded a version of "Let's Spend The Night Together" that held its own against the Stones.

They started in 1969 with sisters June and Jean Millington, Alice de Buhr, and Nickey Barclay, putting out records like "Fanny" and "Charity Ball." Later, Patti Quatro and Brie Darling joined before the band broke up in 1975. After that, members did solo work or played in duos like Venus.

Archive material and source history

Fanny formed in Sacramento in 1969 as an all-female quartet with sisters June and Jean Millington on vocals and guitar, Alice de Buhr on bass, and Nickey Barclay on drums. They released albums like "Fanny" in 1970 and "Charity Ball" in 1971, working in a rock sound that included songs such as "You've Got A Home" and "Let's Spend The Night Together."

Their music sometimes addressed social themes, as in "Think About the Children," but they were often treated as a novelty act in a male-dominated rock scene. The band went through lineup changes, adding Patti Quatro on guitar in 1973 and Brie Darling on bass in 1974, before disbanding in 1975.

After Fanny ended, June Millington worked on solo material, while Jean Millington and Alice de Buhr performed as the duo Venus. In later years, their early albums were re-released, bringing their music back to listeners who remembered tracks like "A Little While Later" and "Knock On My Door."
