It was tough for some of the old-guard all-girl bands around here, because there was no stove or ironing board between the Covered Dish and Common Grounds.

Ha, I hate myself all over again.

List: Two Finger Suicide (my first-ever show, me at 14, all of them not); Dirty Fist (old schoolmates I've not seen play or seen period in a half-decade); Ramona Quimby (I think I saw them once, when I was a fresh and un-jaded urchin); the Philles Records-influenced Christian girl group I svengali'd, the Crucivixens, who are best remembered for hits like "Be My Baby (Oh Father)," "He's A Rebel Nazarene Jew," and "Leader of the Flock."
