I guess that's why no one listened to Wendy O Williams,, Patti Smith, K.D. Lang, Exene Cervenka, Palmolive, Laurie Anderson, Bjork, Yoko Ono, Lydia Lunch, JD Samson, Kim Gordon, Meshell Ndegeocello, Poly Styrene, Siouxise Sioux etc. etc.
Who is the regular 'rock' chick anyway? Lita Ford? Pat Benatar? Belinda Carlisle?
To be honest, I don't think the female thing has anything to do with it. For me, some of their songs are just rubbish. "Rainbow Warriors", even without the video, is just not a good song. However, "By Your Side" is a good one. So, go figure.
Perhaps you should
talk to this guy about CocoRosie. Maybe he could shed some light on why you have such an uphill struggle to gain universal acceptance for them.
Just some thoughts.
