60s Garage Girl Bands (pt. 1)

[@strickly60s45]

Pretty and talented as well...sure, there were many great girl singers from the 60s but, how many were Garage musicians also...very few. Kudos to these rockin' gals .....brings my mind to "Having A Party" by legend Wanda Jackson......good 2 C nicer 2 hear. Thanks you.

[@Hectout]

Thank you so much for all these great photos !

[@LightSnowOvernight]

my continued congrats to Blacflag for creating this parallel universe - where I can still believe that I live in the 60s...which also reminds me that I played guitar w/ a buddy then and we called ourselves Blackfly

[@michaelcraig9449]

This is so cool Can you post up each band playing maybe 3 songs, not just up there for a couple seconds. I want to see more about this. Yeah, can you show these bands playing more, this is great to see these bands. I hope they all get back together and go on tour, like to see them in concert..

[@blacflag]

[@nacho2186]

The Continental Co-Ets - I dont love you no more

[@59leovirgo]

[@GarageRockRadio]

I like this song and the slideshow was excellent!

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

[@elliart7432]

doing research to try and dress my garage punk character, lol

[@roxiestar74]

@blacflag I have all of the Girls In The Garage comps, which is how I learned about these '60s all-female bands, and have been a fan since the '90s. I totally agree that most people are misinformed about when the first all-female band started, some people even think the Go-Go's were the first all-female band, which is ridiculous. Goldie and the Gingerbreads were the first all-female band to be signed to a major, not sure if they were the first all-female band ever though. Do you know who was?

[@katherinesommerville2370]

Loved this.

[@1974rail]

I noticed most of the girl bands were very pretty looking!

[@one4daboox]

@blacflag Very cool! Thanx for your quick reply. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Great job.

[@talktalk3]

yummmmm, this is lovely.

[@TheMauvetys]

soft delicious candy

[@andrewjwheelerjr275]

I love girl groups completely so beautiful and very groovy baby yeah peace everyone😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉.

[@jeffstoneguitar]

nice one

[@roxiestar74]

I have written about some of these groups, and interviewed some of the band members. I have pieces I did about the Luv'd Ones and Daughters of Eve published in magazines and they have also been posted on my blog, which is devoted to underrated female musicians from the '60s-'80s. I am not sure if they will let me post the URL here, but if you search girlsinthegarage.wordpress, it should come up.

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

An internet radio station is needed to play music like this" devoted to underrated female musicians from the '60s-'80s."

[@Queencitysoul]

@TheMustachioed I Don't Love You No More-Continental Co-Ettes

[@SuLizitHa]

I love this!!! :3

[@andrewjwheelerjr275]

Me too this rocks😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@paisleybabee]

way cool!girl rockers of yesteryear!

[@hollies65]

Tip Top!

[@veganswines]

great!!!!!

[@blacflag]

@one4daboox hi, thanks, i have some 60s garage girl records as well....i wasn't planning on doing any more just now, if i was to do more, they'd either be 60s again or maybe 50s, i have quite a bit of fifties female rocker music....

[@JDels-hn2ut]

Great!

[@blacflag]

@57highland yeah, i know of them, there's a photo of the band's earlier incarnations, svelts, wild honey, somewhere in these slideshows....i wouldn't like to say who was first all girl band but there were quite a few female rockers in the 50s

[@Khultan]

Blacflag....you are the best!!! : )

[@blacflag]

@roxiestar74 checked it, interesting.....naturally, i agree, there were a lot of girl bands in the 60s and earlier that never get the credit they deserve.....i think any muso, and there's loads of them, who claim any girl band from 70s onwards was THE first should never be allowed near print again.......i've spoken to a couple but there's loads i'd like to hear about, i could give you a massive list

[@blacflag]

@13loomisst - i know who most of them are, did five slideshows like this, but there's a few i don't know, and right now she is one of them...

[@13loomisst]

@blacflag Thank you very much for for your prompt reply -- and your site, which I'm just starting to check out. Actually, though, the pic I was talking about has a bass player in the foreground (with a drummer behind her). Is that group Ace of Cups? Thanks again.

[@ryanthesurfman5594]

girls band'a just rock !!

[@super70bird]

Great job, thanks so much! Need to id/tag these! 1:52 and 1:54 are Honey Ltd.

[@TheRodolfo1951]

Endlich gab es dann auch Mädchenbands. Ja, die 60er Jahre.

[@blacflag]

@folderman71 no, that is the pleasure seekers at 00.57

[@57highland]

@blacflag Do you know anything about Fanny (radio hit in '75 with "Butterboy" but they were around since the later 60s). I thought they were the first legitimate all-girl group, but someone told me it was Goldie.

[@folderman71]

May be wrong but is that 'the pleasure seekers' with a blond Suzi Quotro singing at 00:57? Check out a vid of their rendition of 'reach out' also on YT

[@1Phoebus]

Who are the girls at "2:33"....their in front of Pandora's Box. Unless othe cities had same name club...the only one I remember with fame to it..was on sunset Blv d and Crescent Heights...the place that had huge demonstratinos upon its closure...inspiring Stephen Stills to write..."For What It's Worth".....^/^ used to hang out there...

[@Khultan]

@blacflag Which one is The Intricate Blend, Blac? I just heard their music and mesmerized by them. Thank you,again! : )

[@1974rail]

wow you are very pretty! Iam shocked there was many girl bands back then.

[@blacflag]

@Khultan yeah, Diane Vitalich

[@folderman71]

Thanks blacflag thought so really lol! Keep up the good work fella

[@nomiclas]

@notaras1985 i remember the Bee Hive hairdo's.there was so much hairspray involved with no shampooing that i heard a story about a girl who had maggots in her hair eating her dead scalp tissue.i tried to never be around that type of girl.i prefered the "chicks"with a flip.your right about the too skinny also.

[@blacflag]

@jenzeppelin daughters of eve, good band, you can still pick up the 45s.....must have been living in the states at time, i believe she was deported back to canada

[@one4daboox]

This is so exciting! I collect music by all-girl rock groups--never knew so many existed from the 60s! I have an album by The Cake, Feminine Complex, The Shaggs, and am looking to buy one by the Pandoras on eBay. Thank you so much for these slideshows. Now I have to look these up. Do you plan on making any for the 70s or 80s?

[@Music_Creativity_Science]

Fun (and weird) guitar intro melody, haha :)

[@blacflag]

@roxiestar74 i've heard worse than that, national music reporters and djs in the uk refer to the spice girls as first all female band, no joke.....i think it depends how far back you want to go, i've seen photos of all female bands from the turn of 19th century....i couldn't put my finger on a specific person, though i think the 50s and rock is the best place to start.....i have a lot more from the 60s but don't want to over post....i'll have a think about it

[@blacflag]

@roxiestar74 yeah, there's a whole debate about that, male dominated industry and all.....i have a friend in germany who's been making a documentary on girl bands

[@wips101]

@quadropheniac1973 no they werent but they were the first all teenage girl band to play some down and dirty raw rock n roll in the 70s,,,and for that much props

[@Phatfucka]

what's the song playing through the slideshow, please reply. xx

[@13loomisst]

Very nicely done. Any idea who that is at 1:19?

[@Khultan]

At 1:08, drummer for Ace Of Cups, right?

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

Yeah, the 70's

[@Marty66502]

Great stuff! At 0:50, what's the name of the group? I can make out "She" on the bass drum, but it looks like there's another word. Thanks!

[@omarsanchez4160]

Mr Blacflag now you got a new fan and I got one question: What's the song name?? it's a cute gem!!!! Thanks for sharing a slice of History

[@blacflag]

@Khultan i'll send you link

[@blacflag]

@marrrrrrks Continental Co-Ets

[@folderman71]

Which band are 'she'? all i know about em was that they were from Sacramento and released a track called 'Outta Reach' which is absolutely storming

[@LittleDragon2000]

And I would have liked to know you, but I was just a kid

[@Khultan]

@blacflag Cool.

[@pacreaugerard3291]

blacflag; Merci pour toutes ces musiques jouées par des groupes de filles, j'aime beaucoup.Toutes les photos qui passent sur les images sont-elles à vous et pouvez-vous me faire des copies et à quel prix? bien à vous

[@TheMustachioed]

what song is playing?

[@edhalfen7380]

Check out the Electrovoice ("EV") mics. The very mic I used once upon a time

[@andresfreyre7018]

Whats the name of this band? can anyone name it?

[@roxiestar74]

@blacflag They should know better in the UK especially since Goldie and the Gingerbreads had a hit song there during the '60s with Can You Hear My Heartbeat?. Which Herman's Hermits took from them and made in to a hit in the U.S.. A male band taking away an all-female band's glory is nothing new though. I live in the U.S. and most people are clueless about women's music history here too, which is why I write about it. I blame the misogyny in journalism and the music industry, which still exists.

[@stanbrewer2]

The Shangria Las

[@nacho2186]

si, sangria fresquita

[@niltonborges2842]

The name of this band??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@RoknRolUSA]

One of the gals Mothers got pregnant while chaperoning the gals on tour!

[@DeepBlueDJinn]

60's chicks were hot.

[@chrishenniker5944]

I wish The Spice Girls did this.

[@notaras1985]

@DeepBlueDJinn chicks have always been hot. the better then was not being too skinny

[@thamnosma]

They were 70's though.

[@davidkoval6415]

And to think that people actually think Women in Rock started with The Lilith Fair

[@davidfugatt372]

NO more like HEART.

[@davidfugatt372]

LILITH FAIR SUCKED

[@Hectout]
