DESCRIPTION:
Bio By She Rox All Female Bands:Los Angeles, California based Fanny, began in the late 1960's under The Svelts, however changed their name to Fanny shortly before their 1970 debut album on Reprise records, leaving them the third all female playing band to be signed to a major record label, Goldie and The Gingerbreads being the first, and The Pleasure Seekers being the second, but Fanny broke ahead of the Gingerbreads soft pop sound and the Pleasure Seekers raw garage rock and delivered a no frills straight ahead rock and roll sound unheard of from any all female bands to date. Fanny released five studio albums and were the very first all female band to have two U.S Top 40 hits before calling it quits in 1975. Yet even with such a milestone for women musicians, the band never reached the commercial triumphs that the Go-Go's did just five years after Fanny disbanded. Fanny were the true innovators for female rock bands, dubbed the "Godmothers of Chick Rock" and rightfully so,never truly gained the recognition due to them which is a true transgression to the history of rock music, and female musicians. Fanny is # 1 on the She Rox Volume 5 Countdown for paving the road for future all female rock and roll bands.
