Frightwig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frightwig was an all-women band from San Francisco, California in the 1980s who pioneered the riot grrrl movement and were very influential to its development. They often played at The Farm. They were known for inviting a male audience member on stage to "dance" during the song "A Man's Gotta Do What a Man's Gotta Do" and thereby publicly ridiculing him. Frightwig was composed of Cecilia Lynch, Deanna Ashley, Mia Levin, Susan Miller, Megan Page, and Rebecca Tucker.
[edit] Trivia
Kurt Cobain was a fan of Frightwig. At Nirvana's MTV Unplugged concert, he can be seen wearing a Frightwig T-shirt.
