My initial reaction was to blame the punk movement for being such a men's club-- Palmolive (or any of the women referenced in the post) were destined to become merely footnotes before the recorded anything, I thought. Women in punk were almost always novelty acts. (Granted, I don't think that the Slits were very good, but there should be better examples.)
Then I realized that playing in a regional Christian rock band in the basement of some sect's church is twice as dignified as anything John Lydon's for twenty years. She's got more integrity than Mick Jones, too.
side note: does it piss off anyone else that Mick let GM use "Should I Stay or Should I Go" for that series of Pontiac ads? I realize that the song had already been licensed to Levis in the early 90's, and Mick was the primary writer of the song. But the ad ends before you hear any of the lyrics. The only voice you hear is the intro scream, which is Joe.

Thanks - brought back memories! I was fond of The Delta 5, The Modettes, The Chefs (Brighton), etc. Cardiff had Young Marble Giants (Alison Statton) and Moira and the Mice ...

Damm, I'd forgotten about the Young Marble Giants. They were great weren't they?

I'm reading "Locas" (a love and rockets collection) right now, and I'm wondering if there's any connection between bands like "Ape Sex" and the actual LA punk scene.

No.
YMG's "Final Day" (1.43) may be the scariest, saddest, truest song ever committed to tape.

I was there at the time but never made the connection between the Germs and the Go-Gos. Jeez.
