A New York collective that blended music with social commentary in the 1970s.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Bitch' or 'Wonderwall.' The first one has the direct lyrics, the second shows their looser side.
Their 1978 self-titled album included 'Bitch,' a track that sparked real debate about misogyny and objectification. Some heard it as a feminist statement, others called it vulgar. That tension, punk energy meeting performance art provocation, is what made them matter.
They formed in the mid-1970s with Jackie Curtis, Valerie Solanas, and Billy Name. Their visual style came from Name's photography, which captured their theatrical stage presence. They developed a cult following but didn't keep up a long recording career.
