If you were a feminist alternative music fan in 1989 who were you listening to?

[BrandyandGinger]

Very random question. In about 1989 a girl in my secondary school made me two tapes to expand my taste in music. One was the Dead Kennedys and the other one was either a girl band or a band with a girl singer. I vaguely think it might have begun with a V. Does anybody have any ideas?

Or the March Violets?

Voice of the Beehive?
Sonic Youth?
Throwing Muses?

Daisy Chainsaw?

Oh, wish someone would make playlist of all these 😍

Danielle Dax? Or completely left field: Danish group called Maquis de Sade

I don't think it was any of these but thanks for all the suggestions. Wendy James was the epitome of cool, wasn't she?
To be honest the album could have been from the early 80s. Music wasn't easy to come by in rural Ireland back then. The only thing I'm sure about is that it was a female singer.

Veruca Salt?

My Bloody Valentine?

Can you remember any of the lyrics?

Vice Squad (Beki Bondage)

No, sorry, I can't think of lyrics. I'm pretty sure it was American and it was upbeat. Not unlike the Pixies.

Breeders had the girl from Pixies in.
Belly?

I also think Veruca Salt @Itsadilemma
@BrandyandGinger do either of these sound like it?

I was about to post 'Seether' but you beat me to it! Thanks!

Great thread! I am doing nostalgic, slightly-misremembered-lyrics singing.

DH made me a mixtape of the Slits, the Breeders, the Primitives when we first met. He’s still in love with Kim Deal.

@AutumnCrow are you thinking of Vi Subversa who was in Poison Girls? I loved them.

The Divinyls?

I've just realised OP said 1989 so too early for Veruca Salt.
The Go-gos?

In Tua Nua?

My bloody valentine?

Dead can dance

The Au Pairs? Lesley Wood was the singer.

Not seen Darling Buds, Flatmates, 10,000 Maniacs or Rhythm Sisters mentioned yet. Not sure any of them are T.V vibe.. but The Rhythm Sisters did have a song called American Boys

I forgot the Go Betweens.. I’m tootling over to YouTube to relive my youth now

Delicious Monster were great too!
