And if you're into other female fronted bands check out Lost Cherrees. They're more dub/anarcho.

Patti Smith - best female musician ever? I think so. Get the albumHorses, it's excellent.

Also check out 'X', they aren't really fronted by a girl, but she does some singing. Great band.

Aus Rotten, see above.

Speaking of save ferris, they reformed as starpool with some gay black guy singing, I saw them open for the aquabats, they were ecent, did anything happen with them?

In a couple weeks I'm seeing The Fabulous Stains which apparently influenced bands like Bikini Kill and such. It also has one of the clash and two of the sex pistols in it. But its never been released on video or DVD, it hasn't been played on tv scince the late 90's, so unless you live in LA, Denver, or Philly, who all have theatres that occasionally play it, you can't really see it.

Female vocals and male vocals together are the best. Most purely female fronted bands I dislike however. Strange, huh?

But honestly, every band should have vocals backed with a member of the opposite sex.
