THE FIRST ALL-GIRLS 3-PIECE ROCK BAND

it's been a while since we discussed about chatmonchy

so i just wondering does chatmonchy is the first all-girl 3-piece rock band? chatmonchy is really an awesome band that they're different from the others. chatmonchy is a legendary all-girl band and everyone here knows that. i realised this but i just want to say it that they are the cutest rock band in the world. their cuteness cannot be found in any other band except chatmonchy .

but i just discovered a band that might be the first 3-piece girl band


Kaidan Light

this is a visual kei band that was formed in 2002 but they are not popular anymore. i just listened 2 songs from them and i cant search for any other of their songs. their songs are punk i think.

so give ur opinions guys coz i'm not sure about it

2002, the first 3-piece girls band ?? Isn't it that very late ?

What about "Tsushimamire" ?
They started in 1999. http://www.tsushimamire.com/

What about "Noodles" for exemple ?

They started in 1991. http://noodles.velvet.jp/index_e.html
PV "SKIN" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfaZUeAHlgk

and what about THE NEWS ??
They started in 1983. They changed the drumer twice, but they have always been 3 girls since start.

And how can we forget SUGAR ?
Started in 1981, Sugar have very good songs.



Wedding Bell (very famous song) or Kiss ga ippai.

But we could mention also "Strawberry JAM" (since 2000) or "Yellow Machine Gun" (started in 1993), etc...

... and I think there MUST be lots of 3 girls bands who started even earlier, but I must be too young or not well informed to know it.

ahh!! i'm shock that there are many 3-piece girl bands. and a lot of them formed long time ago

but i've listened to Tsushimamire but i had no idea that they form the band earlier than chatmonchy. tsushimamire rocks anyway

Don't forget Shonen Knife! They formed in 1981 and are still around making new music!

They even toured around the U.S. With Nirvana in the early 90s. Kurt Cobain was very fond of them.

From one reviewer:

Remind you of anyone??

Shonen Knife even appeared on an episode of Music Japan with chatmonchy last year, with the show being available through JPOPSUKI: http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/ind...etails&id=49755

hmmmm ... and i always think that chatmonchy will be the next shonen knife. i mean: they will be legend!!!! hehe ... ... :D




[i'm sure i've typed it before ... ... ]

^ totally agree

in america there have been girl groups in the past..but..usually they were singers only.... the group coors comes to mind but theres one guy in it.....the matter of all girl band member only or one...this or that may not be very important to the rock and roll hall of fame..whats really notable to me is a singer that can play guitar at the same time...so its a big talent. does she write the songs too ?

welcome to this forum itsa!

well if the person you mean was Hashimoto Eriko, then the answer would be YES. but from what i know, ecchan only wrote just a few songs compared to Kumiko and Akko-chan

Hashimoto-san still writes all the music. Fukuoka-san and Taskahasi-san write the lyrics, mostly- after the music is written. The lyrics are written to fit into Ecchan's music.

there was a girls gropu in america many many years ago called The Shangrilas....(my spelling might be wrong) they were singers only...and the back-up group didnt matter...they were a creation in the studio...they had a few hit songs...and actually got to open for the beatles in one of there shows in new york city..

ok...i went to youtube and found "the shangri-las" there are some songs you should listen leader of the pack(live 1964) give him a great big kiss out in the streets and my favorite remember walking in the sand

there were a few other girl groups...one of them was "the supremes"...but....i cant think any girl groups that played anything ..except, maybe...a guitar....not bass !!

I think I remember there is a punk-grunge band called babes in toyland in US in the early 90s..which is trio....They were on major label for a while......

hard to find 3 ladies with instruments...concrete blonde had one girl and 2 guys...but....its like sumo gettings talent from other countries....probably..lots of girl groups now..in every country....chatmonchy..is a wake up call..thats its possible...but..will they ever reach avril status around the world..??? lets hope these ladies can keep the dream going on with new material and fan base to grow with..

There is japanese 3 piece band called stereopony who sang one of opening theme for Gundam 00. I am not a big fan tho...

Also, even though it is not 3 piece band, there was a band called ZONE. They were more like girl idol group and their instrumental playability is kinda questionable. Some of their songs are worth checking out tho
