The Women of 1970's Punk!
(See also Part 1 prequel video, "THE RUNAWAYS
-QUEENS OF NOISE (1977)", and the Part 3
sequel: "LiLiPUT -EISIGER WIND (1981)")
Idealism collapsed into anger by the
mid-70's. With the wrenching backlash of Punk
Rock and the empowerment of feminism, the
modern Rock'n'Roll woman was forged and set
loose. Every girl now walking with a fierce
heart and strong stride is their heir. Let's
give it up for the mothers of the revolution.
The accused: The RUNAWAYS, teen maelstorm
from California who forecast every Punk and
Metal grrrl to come; TINA WEYMOUTH, bassist
for the Talking Heads and leader of the Tom
Tom Club; her comrades from CBGB's -the New
York club where Punk was born- were DEBBY
HARRY of Blondie, and PATTI SMITH;
Somali/Brit POLY STYRENE piledrived with the
X-RAY SPEX; and her sax player, LARA LOGIC,
started the postpunk band Essential Logic;
Joan Jett was so enamored of Punk that she
had to forge a new future beyond the
Runaways; her near-twin, bassist GAYE ADVERT,
sparked the UK band The Adverts; one of the
first groups on the heels of the Sex Pistols
was SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES, paving postpunk
and goth: from Detroit, NIKKI & THE CORVETTES
were the Ramones' sisters in spirit; San
Francisco brought the rage with PENELOPE
HOUSTON inciting The AVENGERS; the English
PENETRATION was spearheaded by PAULINE
MURRAY; poet/artist/proactivist LYDIA LUNCH
fronted many New York projects, including the
wonderfully named No Wave band, Teenage Jesus
& the Jerks; her compatriots JUDY NYLON and
PATTI PALLADIN grabbed attention with SNATCH;
the Los Angeles scene crested with folks like
EXENE CERVANKA of X, PAT and ALICE BAG (no
relation) of The BAGS, and DIANNE CHAI of the
ALLEY CATS; wielding her axe like Lizzy
Borden is the eternal POISON IVY of the
garage psychobillies, The CRAMPS; political
firebrand VI SUBVERSA flicked 'mother wit'
like a whip with the POISON GIRLS; HAZEL
O'CONNOR broke through scoring and starring
in the undersung Punk film, "Breaking Glass"
(and inspiring Pris from "Blade Runner");
from the ashes of junkiedom, MARIANNE
FAITHFULL made an arresting comeback in
ravaged granduer; from Georgia, KATE PIERSON
and CINDY WILSON brought the mod past into
the eerie future with the B-52's; CHRISSIE
HYNDE left Ohio, worked in McClaren's and
Westwood's SEX boutique, and formed the
PRETENDERS; starting as erratic punks, no one
could predict that THE SLITS would shortly
flip the script into postpunk; the DELTA 5
did the original "Mind Your Own Business"
covered by Chicks On Speed; from San
Francisco, domme JENNIFER MIRO leads the
perverse band The NUNS to this day; the
feminist fist of LESLEY WOOD surged the AU
PAIRS to glory with wit and intensity;
starting as Kleenex, the German group LiLiPUT
cut an astounding swath of postpunk
brilliance; ...as did Englands' THE
RAINCOATS...; and Germany's MALARIA, whose
"Kaltes Clares Wasser" was also covered by
Chicks On Speed; the United Expirements of
America, or U.X.A., were conducted by DE DE
TROIT from San Fran to L.A.; performance
artist and sex activist COSI FANNI TUTTI
confounded boundaries with the
proto-Industrial band, THROBBING GRISTLE, and
later Chris & Cosey: PEARL HARBOUR torpedoed
stereotypes such as with her twist on
"Fujiyama Mama"; and Punk couldn't be more
personified than in the hellacious
free-for-all that was WENDY O'WILLIAMS of The
PLASMATICS.
About X-RAY SPEX: They made one album but it
is one of the five best Punk albums of all
time. "Germ Free Adolescents" is wall-to-wall
perfection, skewering consumer culture with
barbed lines and serrated guitar and sax. The
eye of this storm was the unlikely Poly
Styrene. Small, eccentric, mercurial,
brilliant. Seemingly erratic and perhaps
hallucinatory, Poly had unerring instincts
for making off-kilter things work completely.
She unnerved even Johnny Rotten, who later
deemed her band "superb". It's often said
that the Riot Grrrl movement and Bikini Kill
wouldn't have existed without her. And the
moment you hear her, you know it's true.

| Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex (from "The Punk Years") |
 |
X-Ray Spex featured singer Poly Styrene (born
Marianne Elliot) on vocals, Jak Airport (Jack
Stafford) on guitars, Paul Dean on bass, Paul
'B. P.' Hurding on drums, and Lora Logic
(born Susan Whitby) on saxophone. This latter
instrument was an atypical addition to the
standard punk instrumental line-up, and
became one of the group's most distinctive
features.
X-Ray Spex's other distinctive musical
element was Opera-trained Poly Styrene's
voice, which has been variously described as
"effervescently discordant" and "powerful
enough to drill holes through sheet metal".
As Mari Elliot, Poly had released a reggae
single for GTO Records in 1976, "Silly
Billy", which had not charted. Born in 1957
in Brixton, London, of Somali-English
parentage, Poly Styrene became the group's
public face, and remains one of the most
memorable front-women to emerge from the punk
movement. Not conventionally attractive, she
wore braces on her teeth and once stated that
"If anybody tried to make me a sex symbol I
would shave my head tomorrow".
