One of the first all female rock bands...  You have to wonder if they would have done better if they had picked a better band name? :)

    Yeah, if they'd simply called themselves "Cunt" they would have hit the top of the charts.

  • They did alright - signed to a major label, two minor hits, made five albums. Just watching that clip, great musicianship, vocal harmonies, Fanny were really tight...

    They were rubbish.  Saw them several times, once supporting Rory Gallagher in Croydon ( I think ) and they were really not very good at all.

    The guitarist in L7 has definitely got a Big Muff and I've seen it!

    Thanks for posting that. I thought it was great. :+1: 

    June Millington's 335(?) looks like it's been heavily modded around the volume and tone control areas.. Looks like a pot has been added to the scratchplate.

    It's a 355 - so the Varitone (with the chickenhead knob) on the body will be original. There also appear to be a mini-toggle and an extra pot on the pickguard, which aren't.
